Oh you've done me wrong but it won't be long
'Ere my blues are out of si-ight
And this old green ra-attler's ready to go
Rollin' out of tow-own tonight
See her steam and hear the whistle scream
And we're off on the northern line
Flyin' 38 never known to be late
Rock 'n' ro-oll alo-ong on time
Oh swing that pole and hear that engine roll
Keep the signals clear tonight
Women, wine and so-ong, I've had you too long
Gonna lose my blues tonight - yeah
I've been in town and I've been foolin' around
And spent some ti-ime in jail
Gonna start again, don't know where-ere or when
But tonight I'm changin' my trail
It's good to see the bush land free
'Neath the moon and the stars so bright
And this old green ra-attler seems to know
I'm a-losin' my blues tonight
Oh swing that pole and hear that engine roll
Keep the signals clear tonight
Women, wine and so-ong, I've had you too long
Gonna lose my blue-ues tonight
Oh let the smoke cloud fly, I'm sayin' goodbye
I'm gonna lose my blues tonight
Gonna lose... my blues... toni-i-ight...
