Blue railroad train, I'm goin' down the railroad track

   A                                                        E 
It makes me feel so doggone blue to listen to that old smokestack

E                                             A E
Drivers a-rollin' on, leavin' me here behind

A                                                          E
Give me back them good old days and let me ramble down the line
[Instrumental] E A E [Verse 2]
E                                            A E
Blue railroad train, leavin' me here alone

You treatn' me good, you treat'n me bad, you're makin' me think of home

E                                                            A E
I hear that lonesome train and love to hear the whistle blow

      A                                                       E
She's takin' the sun and leavin' the rain and makin' me wanna go
[Instrumental] E A E [Verse 3]
E                                            A E
I've got the blues, longin' for her company

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

E                                               A E
It's so lonesome here, waitin' for the manifest

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

Blue railroad train, a good old pal to me

A                                                     E
Takes me everywhere I wanna go, get my transportation free
E A E E7
