Train Whistle Blues Lyrics
by Doc Watson
Introduction
Look a-yonder comin', comin' down that railroad track
Look a-yonder comin', comin' down that railroad track
See that black smoke rolling, rolling from that old smoke stack
Yodel -ayee ayee o-layee
Every time I hear that lonesome railroad train ( spoken:have mercy Lord)
Every time I hear that lonesome railroad train
Lord it makes me wish that I was going home again
Instrumental
When a woman gets the blues she hangs her little head and cries
When a woman gets the blues she hangs her head and cries
But when a man gets the blues he grabs a freight and rides
Yodel -ayee ayee o-layee (spoken: Tell me about them blues son)
Instrumental
I got the blues so bad the whole round world looks blue
I got the blues so bad the whole round world looks blue
Lord I ain't got a dime, I don't know what to do
Yodel -ayee ayee o-layee
I'm wearied now, I'm gonna leave this town
I'm weary now and I'm gonna leave this town
Lord I can't find a job, I'm tired of hanging around
Yodel -ayee ayee o-layee
