Blue light flashing down the railroad track
Blue smoke pouring from the ol' smoke stack
Oh blue train (Blue train)
Don't leave me behind

Blue steam flying from the blue choo choo
Wheels a-whining the lonesome blues
Oh blue train (Blue train)
On the heartbreak
Railroad line

My baby said she loves me too
Then she ran off with someone new
Oh blue train (Blue train)
Don't leave me behind

Let me ride until I lose
These doggone awful blues
Oh blue train (Blue train)
On the heartbreak
Railroad line

Blue train (Blue train)
You're coming in on time (On time)
Blue train (Blue train)
You're coming in on time (On time)
'Cause I just lost
That lovey of mine

Blue train (Blue train)
On the heartbreak
Railroad line

(Blue train)
