So blow your whistle, freight train
Take me far on down the track
I’m going away, I’m leaving today
I’m going, but I ain’t coming back
I’d rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don’t ever shine
Than to be at home alone, knowin' that she’s gone
That calls me to lose my mind
So blow your whistle, freight train
Take me far on down the track
I’m going away, I’m leaving today
I’m going, but I ain’t coming back
A face in the crowd
On your wedding day
You toss me a rosebud
From your bridal bouquet
No-one seemed to notice
No-one wondered why
When you pledged your love to him
There were tears in my eyes
A face in the crowd
With a pale yellow rose
Your gown of white satin
My half worn-out clothes
I knew your love one time
But your love now, he holds
I’m a face in the crowd
With a pale yellow rose
Got up this morning, feeling so blue
Couldn’t sleep all night,
Tossed and turned, tears in my eyes
Wondering why she said goodbye
These old blues, they got me down
Since the sweet thing, she ain’t around
I’m as blue as I can be
Just as blue as the deep blue sea
Now she’s gone, what will I do?
It’s too late to start anew
But your love is hard to find
It’s too late to turn back the time
These old blues, they got me down
Since the sweet thing, she ain’t around
I’m as blue as I can be
Just as blue as the deep blue sea
These old blues, they got me down
Since the sweet thing, she ain’t around
I’m as blue as I can be
Just as blue as the deep blue sea
