Blue railroad train, I'm goin' down the railroad track 
   A                                                        E  
It makes me feel so doggone blue to listen to that old smokestack 
E                                             A E 
Drivers a-rollin' on, leavin' me here behind 
A                                                          E 
Give me back them good old days and let me ramble down the line

verse 2 

E                                            A E 
Blue railroad train, leavin' me here alone 
    A                                                              E 
You treatn' me good, you treat'n me bad, you're makin' me think of home 
E                                                            A E 
I hear that lonesome train and love to hear the whistle blow 
      A                                                       E

verse 3 

E                                            A E 
I've got the blues, longin' for her company 
     A                                              E 
It's many miles from where I am to the only one for me 
E                                               A E 
It's so lonesome here, waitin' for the manifest 
  A                                                   E 
I hope that engineer is kind, enough to let me be his guest

Blue railroad train, a good old pal to me 
A                                                     E 
Takes me everywhere I wanna go, get my transportation free
