You know, I want to write a book about my life... I don't want to tell you too much until I've got a chance to have it printed. Apart from my music, my main interests are fishing and making bicycle rides - Tampa Red's excuse to Jacques Demetre and Marcel Chauvard for not wanting to talk to them in any great detail, October 1959

Thanks for the additional versions, JRO and Lignite, much appreciated, especially when I've seen no mention of the Carlisle rewrite before!
I added them to the playlist. Cheers Pan Lignite
I just remembered about another country rewrite also from 1937; Jimmie Davis Jimmie's Travelin' Blues
Great post, Pan.
As far as the lyrics by Thelma La Vizzo, I'm hearing on the verse: Trouble in mind, trouble in mind, It's just the nervous and blue kind The rest of that version I hear the same that you have transcribed. Dave Thanks Davek, I made the changes to the lyrics as you suggested!
Anyone else care to take a listen to the parts with question marks at the verse and the 2nd chorus? Cheers Pan Hi all,
I dug up the attached version of "Trouble In Mind" from my old Rounder record, "Let's Go Riding". I played it there as a duet with Russ Barenberg. All best, Johnm Hi all, A nice change, to hear a faster version of the song, John! Thanks for sharing! Stefan Wirz has added Larry Johnson's version on his YouTube channel. Coincidentally, it too is faster than most versions on this thread. Cheers Pan Via Stefan Wirz:

I just came across a nice hillbilly version of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i02aMorXffI&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2wJtSRFgDxxVcwK8u0hSimAidZlazETtZVkV7SK7WwDxZznlpwY0Ma0ME Cheers, Pan DavidCrosbie
This is how I hear the lyrics — with underlined bold italics where I differ from Pan's transcription.
Quote from: Trouble In Mind Verse: The only really important change is lonesome railroad iron. I'm sure this is what most Black blues artists sang — right up to Big Bill in 1951. Hi all,
I just came across a version of Trouble in Mind by Cortelia Clark, a street singer from Nashville. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvwsV4WmOlc&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0vi9kO1kHWOMrZuLB8wG-Tb-qSO2j3v0fGW6PwxmZJMi8ZHVp0aqRfiy0 I had never heard about hime before, so I dug up some links about him, and his Grammy winning (!) only album in 1966. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortelia_Clark https://www.allmusic.com/album/blues-in-the-street-mw0000396013 https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/b0c134ddce3530a5912b899b6456e810437d9dbd/c=0-287-2545-2201&r=x513&c=680x510/local/-/media/2017/02/16/TennGroup/Nashville/636228533807363159-67-Grammy-18.JPG Oh, and season's greetings to everyone!
