AIN'T THAT TROUBLE IN MIND. American, Song Tune and Reel (cut or 2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. "Ain't that Trouble in Mind" is a song and instrumental breakdown (reel) that is a member of the "Molly and Tenbrooks" song/tune family, and is not related to the blues song "Trouble in Mind." The song and variants ("Ain't that Skippin' and Flyin'") were recorded a few times in the 78 RPM era, including by Frank Blevins & His Tarheels. The first two stanzas of the song, which consists of couplets anchored by a one-line chorus, begin:

Trouble, oh trouble, it’s trouble all the time,
If trouble don’t kill me, I’ll live a long time.
Ain’t that trouble in mind, Ain’t that trouble in mind.

My Mammy told me something, my Daddy told me more;
I ever I married in my life, bring trouble in the door.
Ain’t that trouble in mind, Ain’t that trouble in mind.
