[Verse 1]
When a woman gets the blues, she hangs her little head a cries
When a woman gets the blues, she hangs her little head a cries
But when a man gets the blues, he grabs a train and rides

[Verse 2]
Look up yonder comin', comin' down that railroad track
Look up yonder coming, coming down that railroad track
With the black smoke rolling, rolling from that old smokestack

[Verse 3]
Every time I see that lonesome railroad train
Every time I see that lonesome railroad train
It makes me wish I was goin' home again

[instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
I got the blues so bad, 'til thе whole round world looks blue
I got the bluеs so bad, 'til the whole round world looks blue
I ain't got a dime, I don't know what to do

[Verse 5]
I'm weary now, and I want to leave this town
I'm weary now, and I want to leave this town
I can't find a job, I'm tired of hanging around
