Blue Railroad Train
A. Delmore
| E | E7 |
| Blue railroad train, goin' down the railroad | track |
| A7 |
| Makes me feel so doggone blue, |
| E |
| to listen to that old smoke | stack. |
| E7 |
| Drivers a-rollin' on, | leavin' me here behind |
| A7 |
| Give me back them good old days |
| E |
| and let me ramble down the | line. |
Blue railroad train, leavin' me here alone,
You treat me good, you treat 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.
I got the blues, longin' for some company.
It's many miles from where I am,
to the only one for me.
I'm so lonesome here, waitin' for the manifest,
I hope that engineer is kind,
enough to let me be his guest.
Blue railroad train, a good old pal to me,
Takes me everywhere I wanna go,
get my transportation free.
