Freight Train Blues Lyrics

I was born in Dixie in a boomer?s shack

Just a little old shanty by a railroad track

The hummin? of the drivers was my lullaby

And a freight train whistle taught me how to cry

I?ve got the freight train blues, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy

Got ?em in the bottom of my ramblin? shoes

And when that whistle blows, I?ve gotta go

Oh Lordy, guess I?m never gonna lose

The mean old freight train blues

Now my pappy was a fireman and my mammy dear

Was the only daughter of an engineer

My sister married a brakeman and it ain?t no joke

Now it?s a shame the way she keeps a good man broke

I?ve got the freight train blues, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy

Got ?em in the bottom of my ramblin? shoes

And when that whistle blows, I?ve gotta go

Oh Lordy, guess I?m never gonna lose

The mean old freight train blues
