Doc Watson Blue Railroad Train Lyrics

Blue Railroad Train Lyrics

(break)







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







(break)







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







(break)







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







(break)







Blue railroad train, a good old pal to me



Takes me everywhere I wanna go, get my transportation free
