There's an engine at the station and the whistle calls my name

It's callin' callin' callin', come and get aboard the train

My baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery

I'm gonna call and make a reservation for me Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train

Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train I'm gonna climb aboard and ride until I learn to smile

I'll be knockin' out the blues while I'm knockin' out the miles

With my guitar, beat and rhythm, to the click-clack of the wheels

I'm gonna sing the blues 'cause that's the way that I feel I'm gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train

Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train Conductor, go and tell the man, to shovel on the coal

It doesn't seem half as bad as long as I can roll

Give me another ticket and I'll stay and ride with you

There's nothing left to live for in this world we're rollin' through Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train

Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
