Haggard, Merle - Train Whistle Blues Lyrics
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 blues he grabs him a train and rides.
I can't understand how come you do me like you do
Well if you don't want me woman so since I don't want you.
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.
Hey, hey, hey
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...

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 blues
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
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

Definitely a Merle song, love it, love the man.
Wonderful ole tune by Merle, yeah he does it right...
Timeless classic. I was lucky to see Merle one time, in a live performance, back in 2002. He doesn't come out my way too often. I think he played in Houston not too long ago. One of the giants.
I guess that good old Jimmi would have liked it, a lot...
I don't know what the problens but I am not able to listen to my videos they will come on and go back on and off and on if I can't get it straightened out I am gonna close off on everything.you could leave me a text like you have before.
I had the album of Merle doing Jimmy Rogers and it was played til it was worn out...would love to find the cd if one is available...if not thanks to youTube for having them..I will be sure to listen to all them..thanks..
Merle Haggard the best ...was a good album of him doing Jimmy Rogers tunes...
If you are a Spotify listener, you can find this complete album on it..

I had the album that The Hag made with all these Jimmy Rogers song on it. Needless I wore it out, and then of course along came cassettes, and for some reason I never replaced the album. But thanks to you tube and other places on the internet, we can still find these old treasures. A great post here thanks to Donny Boonman. god bless all.
What album is this? love it.
goddang...merle..real.. bakersfield to corning .. the stuff..
I think that the Jimmie Rodgers tribute album that Merle did in 1969 was his finest work. I've been listening to it since I was 12. Now I'm 55....... I just uploaded my cover version of this great old song. Stop by and check it out sometime.....Terry
I agree with you about it being his finest work.
i just love merle...
Hey hey hey...Merle's 1969 dedication album to Jimmie Rogers titled, "Same Train Different Time".
in some way he let's remind me 2 rodney carrington in this song
An excellent upload. A new song for us and a great one! Stars and hugs..Jan and Susan ♥
