Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I went down to the depot
just to meet the 1202
He rode me, he'd be honored
by the train went right on through
Ooh [C]wee, hear that whistle [G]say
It takes a long, [D]long train
with a red caboose
To [G]carry my [Am]blues [D]away
[G]The engineer was[Em] waving
as the train went down the track
I felt so heavy hearted
that [G]I couldn't wave [Em]him back[C]
Hear [Em]that whistle [G]say
[Em]It takes a[G] long, long tr[D]ain
with a red caboose
To [G]carry my [Am]blues away
[G]I l[Em]isten[G]ed to that lonesome whistle
Listen to that mournful bell
[D]The [A]ech[G]o sai[A]d I told you so
And my heart said [Em]fare [D]thee well
I stood [G]there in the station
With his letter in my hand
Cried just like a baby
Because I lost my lovin' man
[C]Ooh, yeah
Hear that [Em]whistle [G]say[Em][G][D]
[G]It takes a long, lon[D]g train
With a red caboose
to [G]carry my [Am]blues [G]away[Em][G][Em][D][G][Em][G][Gm][C]

[C]I lis[Am]tened t[G]o that lonesome whistle
[Em]Listene[G] d to that mournfu[Em]l bel[G]l
The [A]echo said, I've told you so,
but my heart said, fare thee well
[D]I know he [G]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
[Em]Oo h -[C]ee, hear that whistle sa[G]y
It takes a long, [D]long train
with a red club hoist
To [G]carry my [Am]blues [G]away
Oh, [C]oh, [Edim]oh, oh,[C][Edim]
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
[G]carry my blues [G]away.
