The lonesome sound of a train goin' by 
Makes me want to stop and cry 

I recall the day it took you away 

I'm blue and I'm lonesome too. 

When I hear that lonesome whistle blow 
Well I want to pack my suitcase and go 
The lonesome sound of a train goin' by 
Makes me want to stop and cry. 

In the still of the night in the pale moonlight 

The wind did blow and sigh 

These awful blues I just can't loose 
I'm blue and I'm lonesome too. 

When I hear that lonesome whistle blow 
Well I want to pack my suitcase and go 
The lonesome sound of a train goin' by 
Makes me want to stop and cry. 

I'm blue and I'm lonesome too. 
I'm blue and I'm lonesome too.
