oh you've done me wrong but it wont be long

Till my blues are out of sight

For that big green engine's ready to go

Rollin' out of town tonight



See the steam and hear the whistle scream

And we;re off on the northern line

Flyin' thrity-eight, never known to be late

Rock and roll along on time



Oh! Sling that coal and hear that engine roll

Keep the signals clear tonight

Women, wine and song I've had you too long

Gonna loose my blues tonight



I've been out of town and I've been foolin' around

and spent some time in jail

Gonna start again, dont know where or when

But tonight I'm changing my trail



It's good to see the bushland free

'Neath the moon and stars so bright

And this old green rattler seems to know

I'm losin' my blues tonight

Gonna loose my blues tonight

Gonna loose my blues tonight
