Freight Train |
| I was born in Dixie in a boomer’s shack |
| In a little shanty by a railroad track |
| The hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby |
| And a freight train whistle helped me how to cry |
| I’ve got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy |
| Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes, oh-oh |
| When the whistle blows, I’ve gotta go |
| Lordy, lordy, I think I’m never gonna lose the freight train blues |
| My daddy is a fireman and my mama dear |
| Well, she’s the only daughter of an engineer |
| My sweetie is a brakeman, man, and it sure ain’t no joke |
| Cause it knows just exactly how that keeps me broke |
| I’ve got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy |
| Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes, oh-oh |
| When the whistle blows, I’ve gotta go |
| Lordy, lordy, I think I’m never gonna lose the freight train blues |
| I love the sweetest little girl in this whole town |
| She’s the only thing that’s made me settle down |
| The only thing that makes me want to marry again |
| Is the wildcat whistle on our found place |
| I’ve got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy |
| Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes, oh-oh |
| When the whistle blows, I’ve gotta go |
| Lordy, lordy, I think I’m never gonna lose the freight train blues |
