Blue Railroad Train

(альбом: Lonesome Road - 1977)

Blue railroad train
I'm going down the railroad track
It makes me feel so doggone blue
To listen to that old smokestack

Drivers a-rolling on
Leaving me here behind
Give me back them good old days
And let me ramble down the line

Blue railroad train
Leaving me here alone
You're treating me good, you're treating me bad
You're making me think of home

I hear that lonesome train
And love to hear the whistle blow
She's taking the sun and leaving the rain
And making me wanna go

I've got the blues
Longing for her company
It's many miles from where I am
To the only one for me

It's so lonesome here
Waiting 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
