Railroad Whistlin' Blues Song Lyrics
Railroad Whistlin' Blues by Barefoot McCoy Gone with the yesterday’s windin’ wind,
My only lover and my one true friend
Didn’t even tie the laces on her shoes.
Bought a ticket on the rail bound for Santa Fe,
Left me singin’ songs with the train all day.
You might even say I got the blues.
And I’m a-gonna lay here and listen
To that railroad a-whistlin’,
And anything I hear it say,
I’ll say too
She could be down’n âMexico by now,
Workin’ a saloon in a cowboy town
Hiding all those outlaws on the loose.
When I see a train passin’ by that way,
I only see the train âtook my love away,
But love is a just a hangin’ hangman’s noose.
And I’m a-gonna lay here and listen
To that railroad a-whistlin’,
And anything I hear it say,
I’ll say too
Well I picked up the paper and what did I see?
My lady’s eyes starin’ back at me
Her wayward wanted face all over the news.
She’s a free-runnin’, fast-gunnin’ gypsy queen
Robbin’ all the banks and the trains between.
I think she’s even got a lover too.
And I’m a-gonna lay here and listen
To that railroad a-whistlin’,
And anything I hear it say,
I’ll say too
I’m a hitch-hikin’, train-hoppin’ ramblin’ lad,
Fallen out of love with a love gone bad
No matter where I go, just passing through.
And I’m a-gonna lay here and listen
To that railroad a-whistlin’,
And anything I hear it say,
I’ll say too
Oh anything I hear it say,
I’ll say too
Anything I hear it say,
I’ll say
