There's an engine at the station and the whistle blows my name

It's callin' callin' callin' come and get aboard the train

My baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery

I'm gonna call and make a reservation for me

Gonna ride the blue train gonna ride a blue train

Gonna ride the blue train gonna ride a blue train

I'm gonna climb aboard and ride and until I learn to smile

I'll be knockin' out the blues while I'm knockin' out the miles

With my guitar beatin' rhythm to the click-clack of the wheels

I'm gonna sing the blues cause that's the way that I feel

Gonna ride the blue train...

Conductor go and tell the man to shovel on the coal

It doesn't seem as half as bad as long as I can roll

Give me another ticket and I'll stay and ride with you

There's nothing left to live for in the world we're rollin' through

Gonna ride the blue train...
