Railroad Blues


Railroad blues
Chuggin’ ‘round my mind,
All because
My switchyard baby
Left her engineer behind.
This engine’s been cut loose,
Left to smoke and pine,
While his rolling stock
Has rolled to another line.
Railroad blues
Got me down and out.
Railroad blues,
What the cryin’s ‘bout.

Railroad blues,
Station’s closed tonight,
All because
My switchyard baby
Has got herself ‘nother man.
This conductor got no punch,
Left alone to pine,
While his railroad’s struck
By the lover union line.
Railroad blues
Got me down and out.
Railroad blues,
What the cryin’s ‘bout.
