BLUE TRAIN, THE
(J. Harbert / P. Manning)


Doris Day - 1960


Oh, how did I get on the blue train
I used to be happy and gay
But I was untrue to my darling
And this is the price I must pay

Oh, the blue train, the blue train, the blue train
It's special for lovers like me
Who gambled with fire in the love game
And this is the sad penalty

I promised my love I'd be faithful
But faithful I never could be
Now my love has found him another
More loving and faithful than me

Oh, the blue train, the blue train, the blue train
The whistle's beginning to blow
Yes, I was untrue to my darling
Conductor, I'm ready to go

Oh, the blue train, the blue train
