It Takes a Long Long Train with a Red Caboose

It Takes a Long Long Train with a Red Caboose - Peggy Lee (佩吉·李)

I went out to the depot to meet the twelve-o-two,

He wrote me he'd be on it

But the train went right on through!

Hoo-oo-oo-ee! Hear that whistle say,

"It takes a long long train

With a red caboose to carry my blues away!".

The engineer was wavin'

As the train went down the track,

I felt so heavy hearted

That I couldn't wave him back!

Hoo-oo-oo-ee! Hear that whistle say,

"It takes a long long train

With a red caboose to carry my blues away!".

I listen to that lonesome whistle,

Listen to that mournful bell;

The echo said, "I told you so!",

But my heart said, "Fare thee well!".

I stood there in the station

With his letter in my hand,

Cried just like a baby

Cause I lost my lovin' man!

Hoo-oo-oo-ee! Hear that whistle say,

"It takes a long long train

With a red caboose to carry my blues away!".

I listen to that lonesome whistle,

Listen to that mournful bell;

The echo said, "I told you so!",

But my heart said, "Fare thee well!".

I know he didn't miss me

Cause he's always on the dot;

He told me that he loved me

But I guess he loves me not!

Hoo-oo-oo-ee! Hear that whistle say,

"It takes a long long train

With a red caboose to carry my blues away!".

Hoo-oo-oo-ee!

Hoo-oo-oo-ee!

Hoo-oo-oo-ee! Carry my blues away!
