When a woman gets the blues She hangs her little head and cries When a woman gets the blues She hangs her little head and cries But when a man gets blue He grabs a train and rides I can't understand How come you do me like you do I can't understand How come you do me like you do-doodle-do Well, if you don't want me woman It's since I don't want you Looky yonder coming Coming down the railroad track Looky yonder coming Coming down the railroad track See the black smoke rolling Rolling from that old smoke stack I feel so bad The whole round world looks blue I feel so bad That the whole round world looks blue Ain't got no money I don't know what to do Looky yonder coming Coming down the railroad track Looky yonder coming Coming down the railroad track See the black smoke rolling Rolling from that old smoke stack
