D
When a woman gets the blues, she hangs her little head and cries
       G                                                  D 
When a woman gets the blues she hangs her little head and cries
           A                                       D
But when a man gets blue, he grabs him a train and rides

I can't understand how come you do me like you do
I can't understand how come you do me like you do do do do do
Well if you don't want me woman so since I don't want you


Chorus:
D
Looky yonder coming, coming down the railroad track
      G                                       D 
Looky yonder coming, coming down the railroad track
            A                                                D
And see the black smoke rolling, rolling from that old smoke stack
         D     A             D  
De yodel le-ee ai-de yodel a-ee


I feel so bad the whole round world looks blue
I feel so bad that the whole round world looks blue
I ain't got no money I don't know what to do

Looky yonder coming, coming down the railroad track
Looky yonder coming, coming down the railroad track
And see the black smoke rolling rolling from that old smoke stack

De yodel le-ee ai-de yodel e-ee...
