Blue Railroad Train

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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
