There's an engine at the station and the whistle calls my name
It's callin' callin' callin' come and get aboard the train
My baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery
I'm gonna call and make a reservation for me
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
I'm gonna climb aboard and ride until I learn to smile
I'll be knockin' out the blues while I'm knockin' out the miles
With my guitar beatin' rhythm to the click-clack of the wheels
I'm gonna sing the blues cause that's the way that I feel
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
Conductor go and tell the man to shovel on the coal
It doesn't seem as half as bad as long as I can roll
Give me another ticket and I'll stay and ride with you
There's nothin' left to live for in this world we're rollin' through
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
It's callin' callin' callin' come and get aboard the train
My baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery
I'm gonna call and make a reservation for me
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
I'm gonna climb aboard and ride until I learn to smile

Mister please don't play that tune
She left me this afternoon
And that used to be our favourite song
Just play, some blues, for me
(Bop bop, Bop bop!)
If you play that melody
You're gonna break my heart for me
When I hear it now it sounds all wrong
So play, those blues, for me
Play me something low down
That rolls like a great big wheel
Play me something sorry
Cause that's the way I feel
Yesterday when things were right
When I used to hold her tight
That's the melody that she would croon
So please, don't play, that tune
(Bop bop, Bop bop!)
Just play, those blues, for me
(Bop bop, Bop bop!)
[Instrumental]
(Just play, some blues, for me)
Yesterday when things were right
(Boo Wop!)
When I used to hold her tight

Well the sun is sinkin'
Dark shadows cross my tracks
Well the sun is sinkin'
Dark shadows cross my tracks
My eyes hurt from cryin'
I've got the blues for sale
Well if you've ever been broke and lonely
You know just how it feels
Well if you've ever been broke and lonely
You know just how it feels
I'm tired of thinkin
Where I'm gonna get my next meal
I haven't got a woman
To tell my troubles to
I haven't got a mother
To tell me what to do
Please someone help me
Can't walk the streets no more
And it hurts, it hurts, it hurts
To beg from door to door
Could make it to the graveyard
I'd kiss my mother's grave
I'd lie down beside her
Cause dying is all I crave
I'm so sad
My body's so sick
Please someone help me
I can't stand the pain
Dark shadows cross my tracks
Well the sun is sinkin'
Dark shadows cross my tracks
My eyes hurt from cryin'

Well if you've ever been broke and lonely

My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie is waiting for me
I have a girl and her name is Bonnie
(Oh Bonnie, Bonnie)
(Oh Bonnie, Bonnie)
But I had to go across the sea
(Oh Bonnie, Bonnie)
(Oh Bonnie, Bonnie)
Her goodbye kisses nearly made me cry
I kissed them tear drops from her eyes
I held her close and I heard her say
I'll miss you so when you go away
(Oh, Bonnie, Bonnie, oh my love)
(Oh, Bonnie, Bonnie, ohhhhhhhhh)
She waived goodbye from the pier
(Oh Bonnie, Bonnie)
(Oh Bonnie, Bonnie)
She looked so lonely standing there
(Oh Bonnie, Bonnie)
(Oh Bonnie, Bonnie)
A lover's pain does fill my heart
You'll never know how hurt you've thought
I watched from the deck as I sailed away
The lonely whistled seemed to say
(Oh, Bonnie, Bonnie, oh my love)
(Oh, Bonnie, Bonnie, ohhhhhhhhh)
I kiss her picture every night
(Oh Bonnie, Bonnie)
(Oh Bonnie, Bonnie)
I live for the day when I'll hold her tight
(Oh Bonnie, Bonnie)
(Oh Bonnie, Bonnie)
I'll run to her house and I'll open that door
I'll kiss her like she's never been kissed before
And then grab her from that day
In my arms she will always stay
(Oh, Bonnie, Bonnie, oh my love)
(Oh, Bonnie, Bonnie, ohhhhhhhhh)
(Oh, Bonnie, Bonnie, oh my love)
(Oh, Bonnie, Bonnie, ohhhhhhhhh)

Oh, bring him back
If he's too much for you
And you don't know just what to do
Just send him right on back to me
'Cause I'm still the fool I used to be
If it's only just for a day
I'll take him back any old kinda way
I ain't fooling anymore
Been crying since he walked out the door
Don't know what to do
Don't know where to go
You know I love him so
You know so won't you

She used to be someone you could depend on
To brighten up your coldest winter day
But the one she leaned upon
Let her down now has moved on
And morning brings another empty day
Now she's only a broken down angel
She's only a bird that's broke her wing
She's only someone, someone who's gone wrong
She's only a child that's lost her way
She used to be a girl of simple pleasures
A breath of spring to chase your blues away
But now she bears a cross, for a love that she has lost
No sunshine in her life just clouds of grey
Now she's only a broken down angel
She's only a bird that's broke her wing
She's only someone, someone who's gone wrong
She's only a child that's lost her way

Oh bury me not on the lone prairie'
These words came low and mournfully'
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay'
On the bloody ground at the close of day
Oh bury me not and his voice failed there'
But we took no heed to his dying prayer
In a narrow grave just six by three'
We've buried him there on the lone prairie
Oh bury me not on the lone prairie'
Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free
Where there's not a soul that will care for me'
Oh bury me not on the lone prairie
These words came low and mournfully'
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay'

Blackbird, blackbird singing the blues all day
Right outside of my door
Blackbird, blackbird why do you sit and say
There's no sunshine in store
All through the winter you hung around
Now I begin to feel homeward bound
Blackbird, blackbird gotta be on my way
Where there's sunshine galore
Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, singing low,
Bye-bye Blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me, sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye-bye Blackbird.
No one here can love and understand me.
Oh, what hard-luck stories they all hand me.
Make my bed and light the light

Blackbird, blackbird gotta be on my way
Where there's sunshine galore
Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, singing low,
Bye-bye Blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me, sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye-bye Blackbird.
No one here can love and understand me.
Oh, what hard-luck stories they all hand me.
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight,
Blackbird, Bye-bye.
Bluebird bluebird calling me far away
I've been longing for you
Bluebird bluebird, this is my lucky day
Skies are turning to blue
I'm like a flower that's fading here
Where ev'ry hour is one long tear
Bluebird bluebird this is my lucky day
Now my dreams will come true
Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, singing low,
Bye-bye Blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me, sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye-bye Blackbird.
No one here can love and understand me.
Oh, what hard-luck stories they all hand me.
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight,
Blackbird, Bye-bye.

[French version of "A Mess of Blues"]
La main qui montre le ciel noir
Mes yeux qui voudraient te voir
Mais tu n'es pas revenue
Et ce temps perdu
C'est tout comme un monde qui me fuit
Le train qui file dans la nuit
Le froid qui arrete la vie
Le vent qui porte la pluie
Et tous ses ennuis
C'est tout comme un jour sans reve autour
Jamais, non jamais trop de bleu et de rire
Le soleil, c'est pour les pauvres, pour les aider a vivre
Le moindre bruit qui me reveille
La ville ne dort pas,
Sur son neon et ses enseignes,
Cette joie qui se perd
C'est tout comme un jour sans reve autour
Jamais, non jamais la, croiseront nos routes
Le temps et les gens qui passent viennent creuser le doute
Apres minuit, le blues qui pleure
Dans la fumee des bars
L'image du dernier quart d'heure
De cette joie qui se meurt
C'est tout comme un coeur qui ne bat plus
C'est tout comme un monde qui me fuit
C'est tout comme un jour sans reve autour
La main qui montre le ciel noir
Mes yeux qui voudraient te voir
Mais tu n'es pas revenue
Et ce temps perdu
C'est tout comme un monde qui me fuit
Le train qui file dans la nuit
Le froid qui arrete la vie
Le vent qui porte la pluie
Et tous ses ennuis
C'est tout comme un jour sans reve autour
Jamais, non jamais trop de bleu et de rire
Le soleil, c'est pour les pauvres, pour les aider a vivre
Le moindre bruit qui me reveille
La ville ne dort pas,
Sur son neon et ses enseignes,
Cette joie qui se perd
C'est tout comme un jour sans reve autour
Jamais, non jamais la, croiseront nos routes
Le temps et les gens qui passent viennent creuser le doute
Apres minuit, le blues qui pleure
Dans la fumee des bars
L'image du dernier quart d'heure
De cette joie qui se meurt
C'est tout comme un coeur qui ne bat plus
C'est tout comme un monde qui me fuit
C'est tout comme un jour sans reve autour

I see myself but don't see me
Two burning eyes that don't agree
While in the shades there's someone following my every little movement from the score
I call a friend who's never there
Too tired for love, too tired to care
While in the shade there's someone ridiculing every little moment I adore
Yeah
I fall and fold down on my knee
And ask the god if I can see
If maybe he or she will call on me
The days they pass with no relief
My head all swollen up with grief
Then something wakens me from sleep
Can't get loose to using you
But that's what I am gonna do
Having fun in heaven while you're crucified
I can't get loose to losing you
But that's what I am gonna do
Watching Lilly's flowers while your hands are tied
Do you just hear what I just heard
Or have I simply gone beserk
'Cause in the shade there's someone laughing at my whimsical intentions to be free
Two burning eyes that don't agree
One preying hoping desperately
While in the shades there's someone wallowing in what I know will never happen now
Yeah
I crash and fall down on my knee
And beg the god that I can see
If maybe he or she will call on me
The days just pass with no relief
My head all swollen up with grief
Then something wakens me from sleep
Can't get loose to using you
But that's what I am gonna do
Having fun in heaven while you're crucified
I can't get loose to losing you
But that's what I am gonna do
Watching Lilly's flowers while your hands are tied
[Instrumental]
Can't get loose to using you

Hear that cryin'
Hear those shufflin' feet
Hear that, (bom bom bom bom bom) beating in their hearts
It's a caravan of lonely men
It's a caravan of lonely men with broken hearts
See them walkin'
Nobody's talkin'
Baby, tell me I don't have to go
To that caravan of lonely men
To that caravan of lonely men with broken hearts
Call me back, call me back to your arms
And tell me you are mine
If you don't, if you don't
There's a place for me on that line
Hear that cryin'
Hear those shufflin' feet
Hear that, (bom bom bom bom bom) beating in their hearts
It's a caravan of lonely men
It's a caravan of lonely men with broken hearts
It's a caravan of lonely men with broken hearts
It's a caravan of lonely men with broken hearts
