Blue Railroad Train

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 the whistle blow

You're taking the sun and leaving the rain

And I hate to see you go

Blue railroad train

Leavin' me far behind

You give me back the good ole days

And let me ramble down the line

Blue railroad train

Leaving me here alone

You treat me good, you treat me bad

You're making me think of home

I've got the blues

I'm longing for her company

It's many miles from where I am

To the only one for me

It's lonely here

Waitin' for the manifest

I hope that engineer is kind

Enough to let me be his guest

I'm not as bad

As you might think I am

A hobo here, a hobo there

I've traveled these states around

Blue railroad train

A good old pal to me

You take me where I want to go

And my transportation's free
