I'm Blue, I'm Lonesome
Marty Stuart's Melancholy Journey: Echoes of Longing in 'I'm Blue, I'm Lonesome'
Lyrics
The lonesome sound of a train going by
The forlorn sound of a passing train
Makes me wanna stop and cry
Elicits a desire to halt and express sorrow
I recall the day it took you away
Recalling the day the train carried a loved one away
I'm blue, I'm lonesome too
Feeling sad and lonely
Well, when I hear that whistle blow
When the train's whistle blows
I want to pack my suitcase and go
Expressing a wish to leave and travel
The lonesome sound of a train going by
The sorrowful sound of a passing train
Makes me want to stop and cry
Evoking a strong urge to pause and weep
In the still of night, in the pale moonlight
In the quiet of the night, under the moon's glow
The wind it moans and sighs
The wind produces mournful sounds
These aw-felt blues, I just can't lose
Intense, heartfelt blues that are hard to shake off
I'm blue, I'm lonesome too
Feeling both sad and lonely
Well, when I hear that lonesome whistle blow
When the mournful whistle of the train is heard
I want to pack my suitcase and go
Expressing a desire to pack up and leave
The lonesome sound of a train going by
The melancholic sound of a passing train
Makes me want to stop and cry
Creating an inclination to pause and shed tears
I'm blue, I'm lonesome too
Feeling both sad and lonely
