My baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery
Conductor, go and tell the man, to shovel on the coal
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
I'm gonna sing the blues 'cause that's the way that I feel
I'm gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
There's nothing left to live for in this world we're rollin' through
Give me another ticket and I'll stay and ride with you
I'll be knockin' out the blues while I'm knockin' out the miles
With my guitar, beat and rhythm, to the click-clack of the wheels
I'm gonna climb aboard and ride until I learn to smile
It doesn't seem half as bad as long as I can roll
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
I'm gonna call and make a reservation for me
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
