Railroad Blues Lyrics

Bill Staines Railroad Blues

I heard a whistle in the night
And I saw her light
As she come around the bend
And when I heard her softly moan
Then I felt alone, all lonesome once again

It seems my life has been a game
It had no name to speak of anyhow
And yet I really can't complain
'Cause I made my way however I knew how

Ridin' on the train‚ you know I may be back again
Gone like the flaming leaves in fall
Never staying very long in a place I can't belong
Feeling restless when I heard her whistle call

I heard a whistle in the night
And I saw her light
As she come around the bend
And when I heard her softly moan
Then I felt alone‚ all lonesome once again

Ridin' on the train‚ you know I may be back again
Gone like the leather in the shoes
Never staying very long in a place I can't belong
Feeling restless when I get them railroad blues
Feeling restless when I get them railroad blues
