Lyrics Marty Stuart

Marty Stuart

Blue Railroad Train

Blue railroad train, goin' down the railroad track

It makes me feel so dog-gone blue, to listen to that old

smoke stack

Come back again, let me hear your whistle blow

You're takin' the sun, and leavin' the rain, and makin'

me want to go

I've got the blues, longin' for her company

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

Well, it's lonesome here, waiting for the manifest

I hope that engineer is kind enough to let me be his

guest

And I'm not as bad, as you might think I am

Though I've traveled here, or hoboed there

Rambled these states around

Blue railroad train, a good old pal to me

You take me where, I want to go, I get my transportations

free
