Doc Watson & Merle - Freight Train Blues lyrics

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 hobo'ed 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 transportation's free
