Standing round, round that station
Waiting for the daylight but it's not on time
No that blue Louisiana railroad, is the line I want to ride

There'll be two trains a-runnin' on down the line
One train took my friend, the other's a friend of mine
Know it'll be all right, be just fine (be just fine)
Woman took one train, left the other behind

Punched my ticket, porter took my name
Couldn't pay him nothin' so he started to complain
Down that track boy, down that track
Could not help us see the sign saying that

There was two trains a-runnin' on that line
One took my friend, the other's a friend of mine
You know it will be all right, be just fine
Woman took one train, and left the other behind

Well that blue Louisiana railroad, never run on time
Well I lost my baby, nearly drove me crazy
Lost my money, nearly lost my mind
Two trains a-runnin' on that line
One took my friend the other's a friend of mine
It'll be all right, be just fine (be just fine)
Woman took one train, left the other behind
