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
Look a-yonder coming, coming down that railroad track Look a-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 look 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
