Railroad Station Blues
Lost Love at the Railroad Station: A Blues Tale
Lyrics
Train rolled into the station,
A train arrived at the station.
But my baby couldnt be found.
The singer's significant other was not present.
Train rolled into the station,
A second mention of the train arriving at the station.
But my baby couldnt be found.
Reiteration that the singer's significant other was not found.
Somebody told me she got off,
Someone informed the singer that their partner got off the train elsewhere.
In another town.
Specifically, the partner got off in a different town.
They said she met a fellow,
Information about the person the partner supposedly met.
Bout six foot two.
The person is described as about six foot two in height.
He wasn't much to look at,
Although not physically attractive, this person knew how to captivate the partner.
But he sure know just what to do.
Another acknowledgment of the train's arrival and the partner's absence.
Train rolled into the station,
Repetition of the train's arrival at the station.
But my baby couldnt be found.
The singer's significant other remains missing.
Somebody told me she got off,
Reiteration that the partner disembarked in another town.
In another town.
Repetition of the previous mention of the partner's departure location.
I sent her all my money,
The singer sent money to the partner, likely to return home.
To come home to me.
Despite the money sent, the partner did not come back.
Now she's gone and left me.
Expresses the partner's abandonment of the singer, leaving them lonely.
And I'm as lonesome as I can be.
The singer feels extremely isolated due to the partner's departure.
Train rolled into the station,
Reiteration of the train's arrival and the partner's absence.
But my baby couldnt be found.
Confirmation that the singer's significant other is still missing.
Somebody told me she got off,
Restating that the partner disembarked in another town.
In another town.
Final mention of the partner's departure location.
