TRAIN WHISTLE BLUES
Written by Jimmie Rodgers
[A]When a woman gets the blues, She hangs her little head and cries. [A7]
When a [D]woman gets the blues, She hangs her little head and c[A]ries.
But when a [E]man gets blue, He grabs a train and r[A]ides.
[A]Ev'ry time I see that lonesome railroad train, [A7]
Ev'ry [D]time I see that lonesome railroad [A]train,
It [E]makes me wish I was going home a[A]gain. (Yodel)
[A]Look a-yonder coming, coming down that railroad track, [A7]
Look a-[D]yonder coming, coming down that railroad [A]track, Oh, Lord
With the [E]black smoke rolling, rolling from that old smoke [A]stack.
[A]I've got the blues so bad 'till the whole round world looks blue. [A7]
I've got the[D] blues so bad, 'till the whole round world looks [A]blue.
I ain't [E]got a dime, I don't know what to [A]do. (Yodel)
[A]I'm weary now, I want to leave this town [A7]
I'm [D]weary now, an' I want to leave this [A]town
I cain't [E]find a job, I'm tired of hanging a[A]round.

[A]I cain't understand how come you do me like you do [A7] <--- Merle Haggard Verse
I cain't [D]understand how come you do me like you [A]do
Well if you [E]don't want me woman, it's a cinch I don't want [A]you
Recorded by Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Snow, Merle Haggard
