Intro: 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 Drivers a-rollin' on, leavin' me here behind Give me back them good old days and let me ramble down the line Instrumental: verse 2 Blue railroad train, leavin' me here alone You treatn' me good, you treat'n me bad, you're makin' me think of home I hear that lonesome train and love to hear the whistle blow She's takin' the sun and leavin' the rain and makin' me wanna go Instrumental: verse 3 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 Instrumental: Outro Blue railroad train, a good old pal to me Takes me everywhere I wanna go, get my transportation free
