There’s an engine at the station and the whistle calls my nameIt’s callin’ callin’ callin’, ‘Come and get aboard the train.’My baby’s gone and I’m alone to live in miseryI’m gonna call and make a reservation for meGonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue trainGonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue trainI’m gonna climb aboard and ride until I learn to smileI’ll be knockin’ out the blues while I’m knockin’ out the milesWith my guitar, beat and rythm, to the click-clack of the wheelsI’m gonna sing the blues ’cause that’s the way that I feelGonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue trainGonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue trainConductor, go and tell the man to shovel on the coal—It doesn’t seem half as bad as long as I can rollGive me another ticket and I’ll stay and ride with youThere’s nothing left to live for in this world we’re rollin’ throughGonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue trainGonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
