Ronstadt, Linda - The Blue Train Lyrics

WHAT A wonderful SONG!! I was with Amtrak 30 years....this was done for our ad guys! Love you!

So Sad Linda....you go and do what you need to do..... You are SO very special to us who are older!

Beautiful song masterfully rendered by a consummate singer; thank you for this, Madame Ronstadt.

Linda, my ♥️ belongs to you

One of her best songs, in my opinion.

nobody can win

most favorite song

日本にもクイーンの時代が来るぞー。

Just moody.

Feels Like Home album was one of my very first albums I bought, and it was because of this song! Amazing song!😆👍❤

Beautiful voice. Wonderful song and Feels Like Home is great album.

I believe that Karla Bonoff, Dolly and Emylou Harris contributed Vocals on this track..........wow a bunch of GREAT SINGERS!

I love this song!! I’ve never heard Linda sing this. Beautiful. Thanks for this post.

This is one of my favorite songs, so beautiful. And she is such a beauty.

Gorgeous Linda, gorgeous voice ♥️

Made me look back over my life incredibly rich in meaning

I was actually at Skywalker Ranch, as a guest of Linda's, when she recorded this song. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that I would have this opportunity. I was also asked, by Linda, to select one of the tracks from the several that she had recorded. Being in total shock, I chose track 4. All I remember is Linda saying, "Punch it George." Linda could not have been sweeter and more down to Earth. Like so many others, I miss her gift of song.

I'm not surprised, she always comes across as a very nice person.

Brett Smith lucky you, I was also blessed to see her.

Brett Smith very lucky ! I am jealous. Have loved this song from the first time I heard it on a soft rock station in Boston. Nobody, but nobody, could sing this song like she does . The emotion just pours from her beautiful vocals and the story is so poignant !!
I like putting music together that tells a story at least in my strange mind. I have put this back to back with Kenny Roger’s “The Gambler”. Give it a try would love to hear from anyone who does.

Talk about no bad choices, Mr. Smith! Thank you for sharing your memory of this lovely encounter with an artist that seems not to have wasted one ounce of her talent nor one second of her time in gifting it to us. I am so grateful she is still here on this Earth, and only hope she adds her own songs to the daily playlists that bring comfort and beauty into her life.

been on that Blue Train for a long time but never knew you sang about it till recently. Where had this song been?? beautiful.....

One of her finest performances. it should be better known. I just melt every time I hear it.

Wonderful !!!

Hey Earth Resident! The Blue Train was written by Tom Kimmel. But I first heard the Irish singer Maura O'Connell sing this song from her album "Blue is the colour of Hope" from 1992

Thank You!

I absolutely love Linda's singing and her voice - but Maura O'connell is phenomenal at it - see the transatlantic sessions version, possibly my favourite youtube track ever!!

@Jane Allison I must admit, I love Linda, but this version they do is also my favorite. The whole Transatlantic Sessions series is amazing. I have all the DVD/CD's. A real treasure - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORMUqhofLGw

Does anyone know the name of the original artist?

I believe Maura O'Connell released this in Ireland first, and it's a different interpretation which I like very much as well.

Tom Kimmel wrote it.

such a moody, tingly song.............

I've been riding the blue train for a long time.

I as well..................years and years now.

enmaxus Did you ever get where you need to go?

oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh i Luve this Trak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Killer voice, timeless beauty, Linda Ronstadt, one in a million!

This very underrated 1988 Linda Ronstadt record captures the depressed emotions we all feel when someone decides to terminate a relationship that we were hoping would continue and grow.
