Train whistle blowing down the railroad tracks,
Letting me know she won't be back,
She's gone, where did I go wrong
Well I just can't quit these old ramblin' Ways
I'll ramble till my dying day
With these blues
With these blues
I got a hurting heart of misery
And I drink to ease the pain
Trying to get her off my mind
Is enough to go insane
I'm down to my last heart ache
I got nothing left to lose
But these old Boone county blues
Well the steel rails are hot beneath my shoes
God only knows what a woman won't do, to you, boy to you
I think I'll catch the next train by
No teardrops left for me to cry
I'm gone, long Gone
I got a hurting heart of misery
And I drink to ease the pain
Trying to get her off my mind
Is enough to go insane
I'm down to my last heart ache
I got nothing left to lose
But these old Boone county blues
Yeah I'm down to my last heart ache
I got nothing left to lose
But these old (but these old)
Oh these old (but these old)
Boone county blues. X5
