1. I like to sit here in my shack
down by the railroad track
I like to listen to the trains go by.
I love to hear the lonesome whistle whine.

Blow, lonesome whistle.
Send your sound on down the railroad line.
Blow, lonesome whistle.
I like to listen to the whistle whine.

2. I sit and watch the trains go by,
listen to the engine cry,
I like to hear it coming down the line.
I love to hear the lonesome whistle whine.

3. I like to see the engine gleam,
I like to hear the whistle scream,
I like to see the cars go rolling by.
I love to hear the lonesome whistle whine.

4. The conductor and the engineer
and the railroad bums all like to hear
their train go clicking down the railroad line.
They love to hear the lonesome whistle whine.
