I woke up this mornin'
With an itchin' in my heels
And a melancholy buzzin' in my brain
Gettin' kinda lonesome
Just to hear the wheels
A'clickin' underneath that old freight train

I've got those
Lonesome long gone railroad blues
And those blues are gettin'
Mighty hard to lose
I want nothin' to remind me
Of the cares I left behind
I've got those
Lonesome long gone railroad blues

Ain't got no troubles
No worries of my own
Nothin' but this bundle on my back
I left my gal behind me
Standin' all alone
I'm headin' down that railroad track

I've got those
Lonesome long gone railroad blues
And those blues are gettin'
Mighty hard to lose
I want nothin' to remind me
Of the cares I left behind
I've got those
Lonesome long gone railroad blues

I can hear that whistle blowin'
I hear her mournful wail
I hear her callin' to me down the line
Now my feet are itchin' once again
To hit the trail
And again I feel that buzzin' in my mind

I've got those
Lonesome long gone railroad blues
And those blues are gettin'
Mighty hard to lose
I want nothin' to remind me
Of the cares I left behind
I've got those
Lonesome long gone railroad blues
