Josh Williams Blue Railroad Train lyrics

Blue railroad train, I'm goin' down the railroad track
Makes me feel so doggone blue to listen to that old smokestack
The drivers a-rollin' on leavin' me here behind
Give me back them good old days when we rambled down the line

Well, blue railroad train, you're leaving me here alone
You treatin' me good, you're treatin' me bad, makin' me think of home
I hear that lonesome train and I love to hear the whistle blow
She's takin' the sun and bringin' the rain, makin' me wanna go

Well, I've got the blues, I was longin' for some company

It's many miles from where I am to the only one for me
And I get so lonesome here 'cause the waiting on the manifest
I hope that engineer is kind enough to let me be his guest

Well, blue railroad train, you're a good ol' pal to me
Take me where'er that I wanna go, get me transportation free
Blue railroad train, louder, say it, blue railroad train
I said blue railroad train
