It Takes A Long, Long Train With A Red Caboose - Peggy Lee
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!".
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 know he didn't miss me
Cause he's always on the dot;
He told me that he loved me
But I guess he loves me not!
Hoo-oo-oo-ee! Hear that whistle say,
"It takes a long long train
With a red caboose to carry my blues away!".
Hoo-oo-oo-ee!
Hoo-oo-oo-ee!
Hoo-oo-oo-ee! Carry my blues away!
