Merle Haggard - Train Whistle Blues lyrics

rate me

(Jimmie Rodgers)

When a woman gets the blues she hangs her little head and cries

When a woman gets the blues she hangs her little head and cries

But when a man gets blues he grabs him a train and rides.

I can't understand how come you do me like you do

I can't understand how come you do me like you do do do do do

Well if you don't want me woman so since I don't want you.

Looky yonder coming, coming down the railroad track

Looky yonder coming, coming down the railroad track

And see the black smoke rolling rolling from that old smoke stack.

De yodel le-ee ai-de yodel e-ee.

--- Instrumental ---

Hey, hey, hey

I feel so bad the whole round world looks blue

I feel so bad that the whole round world looks blue

I ain't got no money I don't know what to do.

Looky yonder coming, coming down the railroad track

Looky yonder coming, coming down the railroad track

And see the black smoke rolling rolling from that old smoke stack.

De yodel le-ee ai-de yodel e-ee...
