Train Whistle Blues - Merle Haggard, The Strangers

TRAIN WHISTLE BLUES

(Jimmie Rodgers)

«© '29 Peer International, BMI»

When a woman gets the blues she hangs her little head and cries

When a woman gets the blues she hangs her little head and cries

But when a man gets the blues he grabs a train and rides

Every time I see that lonesome railroad train

Every time I see that lonesome railroad train

It makes me wish I was going home again

Looky yonder coming coming down that railroad track

Looky yonder coming coming down that railroad track

With the black smoke rolling rolling from that old smoke stack

I got the blues so bad till the whole round world looks blue

I got the blues so bad till the whole round world looks blue

I ain’t got a dime I don’t know what to do

I’m weary now I want to leave this town

I’m weary now and I want to leave this town

I can’t find a job I’m tired of hanging around
