From the recording The Meeting of the Hats (Live)
Lyrics
Written by: Elsie Mcwilliams / Jimmie Rodgers
When a woman gets the blues she hangs her little head and criesWhen a woman gets the blues she hangs her little head and criesBut when a man gets the blues he grabs a train and rides
Every time I see that lonesome railroad trainEvery time I see that lonesome railroad trainIt makes me wish I was going home again
Look a-yonder coming, coming down that railroad trackLook a-yonder coming, coming down that railroad trackWith the black smoke rolling, rolling from that old smoke stack
I got the blues so bad till the whole round world look blueI… I got the blues so bad till the whole round world look blueI got the blues so bad till the whole round world looks blue
I ain't got a dime, I don't know what to doI'm weary now, I want to leave this townI'm weary now and I want to leave this townI can't find a job, I'm tired of hanging around© Peermusic Publishing
