  F
There's an engine at the station and the whistle blows my name
      C7                               A#              F
It's callin' callin' callin' come and get aboard the train
    F
My baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery
     C7                        A#          F
I'm gonna call and make a reservation for me

Chorus:
               C7                      F
Gonna ride a blue train gonna ride a blue train
               C7                      F
Gonna ride a blue train gonna ride a blue train

I'm going to climb aboard and ride until I learn to smile
I'll be knocking out the blues while I'm knocking out the miles
With my guitar, beat and rhythm, to the click-clack of the wheels
I'm going to sing the blues because that's the way that I feel

Chorus

Conductor, go and tell the man to shovel on the coal
It doesn't seem half as bad as long as I can roll
Give me another ticket and I'll stay and ride with you
There's nothing left to live for in this world, we're rolling through

Chorus
