Blue railroad train
Going 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
Leaving the rain
And I hate to see you go
guitar solo
Blue railroad train
Blue railroad train
Leaving me far behind
Give me back the good old 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
guitar solo
guitar solo
I've got the blues
I'm longing for your company
It's many miles away
From where I am
To the only one for me
It's lonely here
Waiting for the manifest
I hope that engineer
Is kind enough
To let me be his guest
guitar solo
guitar solo
guitar solo
I'm not as bad
As you might think I am
A hobo here
A hobo there
Traveled these states around
guitar solo
Blue railroad train
A good old pal to me
You take me where I want to go
And the transportation's free
guitar solo
