Stuart Marty - Blue Railroad Train lyrics

rate me

Written by A. Delmore

Blue railroad train, goin' down the railroad track

It makes me feel so dog-gone blue, to listen to that old smoke stack

Come back again, let me hear your whistle blow

You're takin' the sun, and leavin' the rain, and makin' me want to go

I've got the blues, longin' for her company

It's many miles from where I am, to the only one for me

Well, it's lonesome here, waiting for the manifest

I hope that engineer is kind enough to let me be his guest

And I'm not as bad, as you might think I am

Though I've traveled here, or hoboed there

Rambled these states around

Blue railroad train, a good old pal to me

You take me where, I want to go, I get my transportations free
