[Verse]
When a woman gets the blues, she hangs her little head and cries
When a woman gets blue, she hangs her little head and cries
But when a man gets blue, he grabs him a train and rides

I can't understand how come you do me like you do
I can't understand how come you do me like you do do do do
Well, if you don't want me, woman, since I don't want you

Looky yonder coming, coming down the railroad track
Looky yonder coming, coming down the railroad track
And see the black smoke rolling rolling from that old smokestack

[Chorus]
De yodel le-ee ai yodel e-ee
Hey, hey, hey

[Verse]
I feel so bad, the whole round world looks blue
I feel so bad that the whole round world looks blue
I ain't got no money, I don't know what to do

Looky yonder coming, coming down the railroad track
Looky yonder coming, coming down the railroad track
And see the black smoke rolling rolling from that old smokestack
[Chorus]
De yodel le-ee ai-de yodel e-ee
