Trouble In Mind ~ from 1926

[V] Trouble in [I] mind, I'm [V] blue,
but [I] I won't be blue al [IV] ways.
Cause the [I]sun's gonna shine
through [V] my back door [IV]some day-[I] ay. [V]

I'm gonna lay down my head on a lonesome railroad line.
And let the two-nineteen train pacify my mind.

Trouble in mind, I'm blue. My heart is beating slow.
I aint had so much trouble in my whole life before.

I'm going down to the river. Gonna take my rocking chair.
And if the blues don't leave me, I'm rockin on outta here.

Repeat verse one.

Comment by Uncle John on October 26, 2013 at 2:45am: Hey!! I thought somebody would buy this guitar! What is the deal, are you people making your own?

I guess things work out for the best. I sold two this week and only made one. And I played this one for half an hour this morning and decided it is a keeper. It's now off the market.

Comment by Uncle John on October 23, 2013 at 4:36am: Yup, Muddy. I had too many when I made the vid and finished one and started one since then.

A good LOL on that one, Darryl.

Reeds, my friend, thank you, sir.

Comment by Reeds Taylor on October 23, 2013 at 1:13am: Very nicely done sir.

Comment by darryl kernaghan on October 23, 2013 at 12:16am: do us a favour john,wait till 2.25 before you go down to the rail track

Comment by Muddy Creek Guitars on October 23, 2013 at 12:08am: Nice song, well done. I'm afraid I can't buy your guitar, mine keep sacking up. I sell mine off. Then of course I have to make more, and so on, and so on........

Comment by Uncle John on October 22, 2013 at 2:45pm: LOL, Owl. Yup, hard times in the heartland. Naw, doing fine here. Just being frugal and playing 12 bar only on paydays.

Comment by Uncle John on October 22, 2013 at 6:30am: Thanks James. I won't mind if It does not sell. Trouble is, I keep making them! Is there some kind of deal for cbgs like there is for cats and dogs? Some agency raids my man cave and removes 14 cbgs because too many are being neglected?

Comment by James on October 22, 2013 at 3:56am: very nice guitar , song and performance !!!

Comment by Uncle John on October 21, 2013 at 1:07pm: Thanks James and Piggy. Thanks Nancy and nice kitty. Thanks Digly and Ruth. Thank you Harvey and White Owl.
