My dusty feet have kicked the stones Between a thousand railroad ties From Boston down to New Orleans I left the girls a-cryin' But I've still got some ramblin' in me Got some miles left on my shoes And before I take a job again I'll have to be low-down Cryin' the blues So it's goodbye baby The whistle is a-blowin' If I miss the train I'll have to stay around But as long as those railroad tracks Go on un-ending I'll be off to another day In another town You say you'd like to ramble with me This ain't no life for a girl Too many people out to get you In a hobo's world And it gets mighty cold When you're on the road 'Cause a boxcar never was a home But you could join me if you want I'm gettin' mighty tired of bein' alone So it's goodbye baby The whistle is a-blowin' If we miss the train We'll have to stay around But as long as those railroad tracks Go on un-ending We'll be off to another day In another town But as long as those railroad tracks Go on un-ending We'll be off to another day In another town We'll be off to another day In another town
