Lyrics Blues Train - Don McLean

Blues Train

Well, I'm riding on that blues train
Get your ticket, get on board
Yes, I'm riding on that blues train
Get your ticket, get on board

You're gonna be buying your ticket with your heartache
You're gonna be paying the man with your dues
You're gonna be living alone when you hear that whistle moan
You're gonna be learning to live with the blues
You're gonna be learning to live with the blues

Well, I'm riding on that blues train
Get your ticket, get on board
Yes, I'm riding on that blues train
Get your ticket, get on board

Well, ticket man, engineer
Have a plan and make it clear
See them come, ones and twos
They all got the low-down blues
Some for better, some for worse
Some can laugh, and some can curse
Some for rich and some for poor
Got the blues and want the cure
And yeah
Yeah, yeah

Well, I'm riding on that blues train
Get your ticket, get on board
Yes, I'm riding on that blues train
Get your ticket, get on board

Well, once you got the blues you're on the blue track
Once you got the blues you can't remain
Once you got the blues you'll never be back
You'll just keep riding on that blue, blues train
Just keep riding on that blue, blues train

Well, I'm riding on that blues train
Get your ticket, get on board
Yes, I'm riding on that blues train
Get your ticket, get on board

Well, ticket man, engineer
Have a plan and make it clear
See them come, ones and twos
They all got the low-down blues
Some for better, some for worse
Some can laugh, and some can curse
Some for rich and some for poor
Got the blues and want the cure
And yeah
Yeah

Well, I'm riding on that blues train
Get your ticket, get on board
Yes, I'm riding on that blues train
Get your ticket, get on board
