Blue Railroad Train (Vanguard Version)

Blue Railroad Train (Vanguard Version) - Doc Watson

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

And give me back them good old days

And let me ramble down the line

Blue railroad train

Leavin' me here alone

You're treatin' me good

You're treatin' me bad

And 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'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

Blue railroad train

A good old pal to me

Take me everywhere I wanna go

Get my transportation free
