Train Whistle Blues - Lyrics - Merle Haggard

Title: Train Whistle Blues
Artist: Merle Haggard
Composer(s): Jimmie Rodgers

Lyric:
When a woman gets the blues she hangs her little head and cries
When a woman gets the blues she hangs her little head and cries
But when a man gets the blues he grabs a train and rides

Every time I see that lonesome railroad train
Every time I see that lonesome railroad train
It makes me wish I was going home again

Look a-yonder coming, coming down that railroad track
Look a-yonder coming, coming down that railroad track
With the black smoke rolling, rolling from that old smoke stack

I got the blues so bad till the whole round world look blue
I got the blues so bad till the whole round world looks blue
I ain't got a dime, I don't know what to do

I'm weary now, 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

Freight Train Blues - Lyrics - Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan

Title: Freight Train Blues
Album: Bob Dylan
Artist: Bob Dylan
Composer(s): Bob Dylan

Lyric:
I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack
Just a little shanty by the railroad track
Freight train was it taught me how to cry
The holler of the driver was my lullaby

I've got the freight train blues
Oh, lawdy mama got 'em
On the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
And when the whistle blows, I gotta go
Baby, don't you know
It looks like I'm never gonna lose
The freight train blues

Well, my daddy was a fireman and my mama hear
She was the only daughter of the engineer
My sweetheart loved the brakeman and that ain't no joke
It's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke

I got the freight train blues
Oh, lawdy mama got 'em
On the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
And when the whistle blows, I gotta go
Oh, mama don't you know
Well it looks like I'm never gonna lose
The freight train blues

Well, the only thing that makes you laugh again
Is a south bound whistle on a south bound train
Every place I want to go
I never can go because you know

Because I got the freight train blues
Oh, lawdy mama got 'em
On the bottom of my ramblin' shoes

Lyric:
I was born in Dixie in a boomer?s shack
Just a little old shanty by a railroad track
The hummin? of the drivers was my lullaby
And a freight train whistle taught me how to cry

I?ve got the freight train blues, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Got ?em in the bottom of my ramblin? shoes
And when that whistle blows, I?ve gotta go
Oh Lordy, guess I?m never gonna lose
The mean old freight train blues

Now my pappy was a fireman and my mammy dear
Was the only daughter of an engineer
My sister married a brakeman and it ain?t no joke
Now it?s a shame the way she keeps a good man broke

I?ve got the freight train blues, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Got ?em in the bottom of my ramblin? shoes
And when that whistle blows, I?ve gotta go
Oh Lordy, guess I?m never gonna lose

Last Train Home - Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

Title: Last Train Home
Artist: Nanci Griffith
Composer(s): Nanci Griffith

Lyric:
By the time I get to Phoenix
Was the last song on your mind the day you left
Then you woke up in Nogales
With Tequila with her name across your chest

Now, you've stumbled through the morning
On these border tourists' dusty avenues
Singing every day's the hurting kind
And everyday you live, you're born to lose

Now, you missed the last train home
The whistle blew and now she's gone
West Texas dust beneath your nails
You're hammered down the heartbreak trail
Now, you've missed the last train home
Whistle blew, she's solid gone

Now, you're wandering El Paso
Searching for your broken heart and truth
She was all you ever had
And the only thing you ever had to lose

And with a juke box playing Charlie Rich
You're lining up your shots at half past noon
And you threw your ring across the bar
And sang along to good time Charlie's got the blues

Now, you missed the last train home
The whistle blew and now she's gone
West Texas dust beneath your nails
You're hammered down the heartbreak trail
Now, you've missed the last train home
Whistle blew, she's solid gone

Don't go to Tulsa where she's bound
You'll end up six feet underground
Your ex-friend, Charlie's there about
He never missed the last train out

Now, you missed the last train home
That whistle blew, she's solid gone
Now, you missed the last train home
That whistle blew, she's solid gone

Death Comes Callin' - Lyrics - Whitey Ford Sings The Blues - Everlast

Title: Death Comes Callin'
Album: Whitey Ford Sings The Blues
Artist: Everlast
Composer(s): Erik Schrody, Richard Cornwell, Bill Curtis

Lyric:
A yes yes y'all, it's too fresh y'all
A little B-boy blue
You know it's too beucou

I've been from New York to Cali
Spent two days in the valley
And I think I'm 'bout to lose my mind
And if I think 'bout it one more time
I'm a blow my stack, see ya out the back

Give me some room that I can breathe in
Now I'm a start weavin' spells like a wizard
King of the lizard, my mojo's risin' like my nature should
Not everybody can relate to hood

But I used to roll with high frequency
Had a habit of juvenile delinquency
If y'all could see all the things I did
When I was a kid, ya might flip ya lid 'cause

When I was the age of one
My father gave me my very first gun
When I was the age of two
I was pullin' out records with the SD Crew

And when I was the age of three
I had all the maddest fishes swimmin' after me
And when I was the age of four
I was bustin' out shows with the rhymes galore

Day to the night, night to the day
Up around where I stay, we do things this way
You got to watch how you act and watch what you say
'Cause their ain't no stallin' when the death come callin'

Day to the night, night to the day
Up around where I stay, we do things this way
You got to watch how you act and watch what you say
'Cause their ain't no stallin' when the death come callin'

The man that lives by the pistol
Dies by the smokin' gun
I think, I hear a steam whistle
Lord, when my train gonna come

The man that lives by the pistol
Dies by the smokin' gun
I think, I hear a steam whistle
Lord, when my train gonna come

Yo, all you duns packin' guns fightin' for ones
It's time to get these hons start raisin' some sons
Plant your seed in some fertile soil
And watch me start bubblin' like I'm 'bout to boil

Like Olive Oil love Popeye, just won't stoppa
I got to keep rockin', ticks keep tockin'
Time keeps slippin', my mind keeps trippin'
I'm in the road less traveled sure got lotta stones

Day to the night, night to the day
Up around where I stay, we do things this way
You got to watch how you act and watch what you say
'Cause their ain't no stallin' when the death come callin'

Day to the night, night to the day
Up around where I stay, we do things this way
You got to watch how you act and watch what you say
'Cause their ain't no stallin' when the death come callin'

When the death come callin'
Watch me break it down

There's a red house yonder just over the hill
With my name carved into the window sill
Think, I'm gonna burn it down
Yeah, think I'm gonna burn it down

That's what me and my old woman used to say
We used to lie in bed and make love all day
Think I'm gonna burn it down
Yeah, I think I'm gonna burn it down
Think I'm gonna burn it down to the ground

The man that lives by the pistol
Dies by the smokin' gun
Think, I hear a steam whistle
Lord, when my train gonna come

The man that lives by the pistol
Dies by the smokin' gun
Think, I hear a steam whistle
Lord, when my train gonna come

Lord, when my train gonna come
Lord, when my train gonna come
Lord, when my train gonna come
Lord, when my train gonna come

Artist: Ella Fitzgerald
Composer(s): Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer

Lyric:
My mama done tol' me when I was in pigtails
My mama done tol' me, "Son
A man'll sweet talk and give ya the big eye
But when the sweet talkin's done

A man's a two-face
A worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing

The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
And the moon'll hide it's light
When you get the blues in the night

Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing
The saddest kind o' song
He knows things are wrong

From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever the four winds blow
I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know

A man's a two-face
A worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing
The blues in the night

The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
And the moon'll hide it's light
When you get the blues
Blues in the night

Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing
The saddest kind o' song
He knows things are wrong
And he's right

From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever the four winds blow, winds blow
I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know

A man's a two-face
A worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing

Lady Do Or Die - Lyrics - Billy Idol

Title: Lady Do Or Die
Artist: Billy Idol
Composer(s): Brian Tichy, Billy Idol

Lyric:
What it takes, it takes a dog to cry
What it takes, a boy must die
What it takes, sometime before midnight
What it takes, it takes a life

'Cause I was o' so young
Misshaped before my time
Ride metallic monsters
And there's mud in your eye
For lady do or die

It makes a woman bleed
Can't give her all her needs
Close the door before you leave
Can almost hear her breath

It's a shame what you've become
The things I do for love
On this road tonight looking for her candlelight
For lady do or die
For lady do or die

Tumbleweed, passing by
Train whistle start to cry
More people start to die
I don't know why, God knows why

I wonder what it takes
To free someone
I wonder what it takes
Free you from your prison

Kings of the road keep travelin' on
Every mile a ragged woe
Kings on the road keep smilin' on
Play the guitar and sing the blues and cry
Play the guitar and sing the blues and cry
Play the guitar and sing the blues and cry

For lady do or die
For lady do or die
For lady do or die
For lady do or die

For lady do or die
Play the blues and cry
For lady do or die
Play the guitar
For lady do or die
Sing, sing the blues and cry
For lady do or die

Folsom Prison Blues - Lyrics - Merle Haggard

Title: Folsom Prison Blues
Artist: Merle Haggard
Composer(s): John R Cash

Lyric:
I hear that train a comin', it's comin' 'round the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
I'm locked in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on
And I hear that train a-rollin' on down to San Antone

When I was just a baby my mama told me "Son
Always be a good boy don't ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that lonesome whistle I hang my head and I cry

I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars
Well, I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free
But I hear that train a-rollin' and that's what tortures me

Well, if they freed me from this prison and that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it over a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison that's where I long to be
And let that train keep rollin' and roll my blues away

Owe Them More Than That - Lyrics - Kenny Rogers

Title: Owe Them More Than That
Artist: Kenny Rogers
Composer(s): Tony Martin, Clessie Lee Morisette, John Guess, Roger Springer

Lyric:
Old Hank was a drifter passing through
He stayed long enough to cry the blues
Acquainted with the bottle
He knew the good Lord too
Hank was drifter passing through

Lefty was an oil rigger's son
He felt every word he ever sung
And when it came to singin', Lord
He showed them how it?s done
Old Lefty was an oil rigger's son

They broke the ground
On the road that we go down today
Like a train whistle passing their voices are starting to fade
There are some who sing their praises, others tip their hats
But it seems like we owe 'em more than that

Marty painted pictures with a song
El Paso made the whole world sing along
With the story of Felina and the cowboy in her arms
Marty painted pictures with a song

Waylon was the outlaw of our time
Not afraid to lay it on the line
He went against the grain
And he always spoke his mind
Waylon was the outlaw of our time

They broke the ground
On the road that we go down today
Like a train whistle passing their voices are starting to fade
There are some who sing their praises, others tip their hats
But it seems like we owe 'em more than that

There are some who sing their praises, others tip their hats
But it seems like we owe 'em more than that
But it seems like we owe 'em more than that
We all know we owe 'em more than that

Yeah, we do

A man's gonna sweet talk

Hear that train callin' whooee
My mama done tol' me

Oh, that lonesome whistle
Howlin' cross the trestle
My mama done tol' me

Awhooee, ahwhooee
Clicketyclacks, echoin' back
The blues in the night

The evening breeze will start the trees to cryin'
And the moonlight hides its light
When you get the blues in the night

Oh, take my word the mockingbird will sing
His saddest, saddest kind of song
He knows things are wrong and he's right

From Natchez to Mobile
From Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever the four winds blow

Yeah, I've been to the big towns
And I heard me some big talk too
But when the big talk is done

Blue Railroad Train - Lyrics - Doc Watson

Title: Blue Railroad Train
Artist: Doc Watson
Composer(s): Lionel Alton Delmore, R Delmore

Lyric:
Blue railroad train
I'm goin' down the railroad track
It makes me feel so doggone blue
To listen to that old smokestack

Drivers a-rollin' on
Leavin' me here behind
And give me back them good old days
And let me ramble down the line

Blue railroad train
Leavin' me here alone
You're treatin' me good
You're treatin' me bad
And makin' me think of home

I hear that lonesome train
And love to hear the whistle blow
She's takin' the sun
And leavin' the rain
And makin' me wanna go

I've got the blues
Longin' for her company
It's many miles from where I am
To the only one for me

It's so lonesome here
Waitin' for the manifest
I hope that engineer is kind
Enough to let me be his guest

Blue railroad train
A good old pal to me
Take me everywhere I wanna go

Well, I hear that train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine

'Cause I'm stuck in Folsom prison
And time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps rollin'

My momma told me, "Son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns"

But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head and cry

Well, I bet you all them rich men
Are in fancy dine-in cars
Probably drinking coffee
And smokin' big cigars

Well, I know I had it comin'
I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me

Well, if they freed me from this prison
And that railroad train was mine
You bet I'd move it farther
A little farther down the line

Far from Folsom prison
That's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle

Lyric:
How long baby, how long has that evening train been gone?
It's been gone since that blood red sun went down

Thought I heard a whistle and I think I see a train
Deep in my heart there is an aching pain
Said how long, how long, baby how long?

Well look down them tracks and feeling so bad
Lost the best woman that a poor man ever had
How long, well how long baby, how long?

Well how long baby, how long has that evening train been gone?
It's been gone since that blood red sun went down

How long baby, how long has that evening train been gone?
It's been gone since that blood red sun went down

Album: Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities

Composer(s): John R Cash

Lyric:
I hear that train a comin'
It's rollin' around the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when

Well, I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' on
That train keeps rollin'
On down to San Antone

When I was just a baby
My mama told me, "Son
Always be good boy
Don't you ever play with guns"

But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that lonesome whistle
I hang my head and cry

Well, I bet there's rich folks eating
From a fancy dinin' car
I bet they're taking mushrooms
And smokin' big cigars

Well, I know I had it comin'
I know I can't be free
Those people keep movin'
And that's what tortures me

If they free me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
You bet I'd move it on
A little farther down the line

Yeah, far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to be
But those people keep movin'
Goddammit, that's what tortures me

Man, if they'd free me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
You bet I'd move it on
A little farther down the line

Yeah, far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to be
Those people keep movin'
Goddammit that's what tortures me
