| Oh-de-lay-ee-oh, de-lee-do-lay-ee-oh, do-lee-do-lay-ee-ee
|
| Oh you’ve done me wrong but it won’t be long
|
| 'Ere my blues are out of si-ight
|
| And this old green ra-attler's ready to go
|
| Rollin' out of tow-own tonight
|
| See her steam and hear the whistle scream
|
| And we’re off on the northern line
|
| Flyin' 38 never known to be late
|
| Rock 'n' ro-oll alo-ong on time
|
| Oh swing that pole and hear that engine roll
|
| Keep the signals clear tonight
|
| Women, wine and so-ong, I’ve had you too long
|
| Gonna lose my blues tonight — yeah
|
| Oh-de-lay-ee-oh, de-lee-do-lay-ee-oh, do-lee-do-lay-ee-ee-ee
|
| I’ve been in town and I’ve been foolin' around
|
| And spent some ti-ime in jail
|
| Gonna start again, don’t know where-ere or when
|
| But tonight I’m changin' my trail
|
| It’s good to see the bush land free
|
| 'Neath the moon and the stars so bright
|
| And this old green ra-attler seems to know
|
| I’m a-losin' my blues tonight
|
| Oh swing that pole and hear that engine roll
|
| Keep the signals clear tonight
|
| Women, wine and so-ong, I’ve had you too long
|
| Gonna lose my blue-ues tonight
|
| Oh let the smoke cloud fly, I’m sayin' goodbye
|
| I’m gonna lose my blues tonight
|
| Gonna lose… My blues… Toni-i-ight… |
