My baby’s good looking when the snow hits the ground
My wintertime baby loves me all year round
But he only quits drinking, when my train comes to town

In the springtime, my baby gets blue
When the sun comes round he hears that whistling tune
I know he knows I know I’ll be leaving soon

For five hundred miles, I’ll miss my baby my blues
The train whistle blows my favourite tune
Heart does the talking shoes do the walking

I heard the news, on that whispering avenue
My wintertime baby hit the bottle in June
Baby’s been drinking the summertime lonesome blues

He got the blues, ain’t nothing I can do
My blues my baby, until the morning through
Baby’s been drinking, and sleeps at the river by noon

For five hundred miles, I’ll miss my baby my blues
The train whistle blows my favourite tune
Heart does the talking shoes do the walking

He got the blues, ain’t nothing I can do
My blues my baby, until the summer is through
And gets the birds eye view Hey baby I’m coming back soon

My baby’s good looking when the snow hits the ground
My wintertime baby loves me all year round
And he only quits drinking when my love comes to town

In five hundred miles, I’ll love my baby my blues
When the train whistle blows my favourite tune
Heart does the talking shoes do the walking
My heart does the talking and my shoes do the walking
