Lyrics
Train roll on
On down the line, won’t you
Please take me far away
Now I feel the wind blow
Outside my door, means I’m
I’m leaving my woman at home, Lordy
Tuesday’s gone with the wind
Oh, my baby’s gone, with the wind
And I don’t know
Oh, where I’m going
I just want to be left alone
Well, when this train ends
I’ll try again, oh but I’m
I’m leaving my woman at home, Lordy
Tuesday’s gone, with the wind
Tuesday’s gone, with the wind
Tuesday’s gone, with the wind
My baby’s gone, with the wind
Train roll on
Tuesday’s gone
The train roll on
A many miles from my home, see I’m
I’m riding my blues away, yeah
Well Tuesday, you see
Oh, she had to be free, Lord but
Somehow I got to carry on, Lordy
Tuesday’s gone, with the wind
Tuesday’s gone, with the wind
Tuesday’s gone, with the wind, oh
My baby’s gone, with the wind
Train, roll on, ooh
‘Cause my baby’s gone
I’m riding my blues babe
Trying to ride my blues
Ride on train
Ride on train
Ride my blues, babe
Come back to me, babe
Come back to me, oh, train
