It Takes A Long, Long Train With A Red Caboose (To Take My Blues Away) (The Complete Recordings 1941-1949)
I went out to the depot to meet the twelve-o-two, He wrote me he'd be on it but the train went right on through! Hoo-oo-oo-ee! Hear that whistle say, "It takes a long long train with a red caboose to carry my blues away!".
The engineer was wavin' as the train went down the track, I felt so heavy hearted that I couldn't wave him back! Hoo-oo-oo-ee! Hear that whistle say, "It takes a long long train with a red caboose to carry my blues away!".
I listen to that lonesome whistle, Listen to that mournful bell; The echo said, "I told you so!", But my heart said, "Fare thee well!".
I stood there in the station with his letter in my hand, Cried just like a baby 'cause I lost my lovin' man! Hoo-oo-oo-ee! Hear that whistle say, "It takes a long long train with a red caboose to carry my blues away!".
