I’ll catch that train and ride.


Yes, whisky straight 
Will drive the blues away 2x
That be the case, I wants a quart today

I bought my baby a great big diamond ring. 2x
Come right back home 
And caught her shaking that thing.

I said, “Babe,
What makes you do me this-a-way? 2x
Well, that I bought, now you give it away.

I took my gun and broke the barrel down 2x
I put that joker six feet in the ground.

You got the blues, and I still ain’t satisfied 2x
Well, some old day, 
gonna catch the train and ride.

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
