Blue railroad train, going down the railroad track,
[A] makes me feel so doggone blue, [E] listen
to that old smokestack.
Come back again, let me hear the whistle blow, [A] taking the sun, leaving the rain, and I hate
[E] to see you go.

Blue railroad train, leaving me far behind,
[A] give me back the good old days, let me [E] ramble
down the line.
Blue railroad train, leaving me here alone, [A] treat me good, treat me bad, making me think [E] of home.

I've got the blues, I'm lonely for [Em] company, [A] it's many miles from where I am to the [E] only
one for you.
It's lonely here, waiting for the man up there, [A] I hope that engineer is kind enough to let
me [E] be a guest.

I've hoboed here, hoboed there, traveled the [E] states around.
Blue railroad train, a good old pal [Em] to me, [E] [A] you take me where I want to go, and the [E] transportation's free.
