Blue railroad train
I'm goin' down the railroad track
It makes me feel so doggone blue
To listen to that old smokestack
Come back again let me hear your whistle blow
You're takin' the sun and leavin' the rain
And I hate to see you
Drivers a rollin' on
Leavin' me far behind
And give me back them good old days
And let me ramble down the line
Blue railroad train
Leavin' me here alone
You're treatin' me good
You're treatin' me bad
And makin' me think of home
I've got the blues
Longin' for her company
It's many miles from where I am
To the only one for me
It's so lonesome here
Waitin' for the manifest
I hope that engineer is kind
Enough to let me be his guest
And I'm not as bad as you might think I am
Though I've traveled here or hoboed there
Rambled these states around
Blue railroad train
A good old pal to me
Take me everywhere I wanna go
Get my transportation free
