| I was born in Dixie in a boomer’s shack
|
| Just a little shanty by the railroad track
|
| Freight train whistle taught me how to cry
|
| Hummin' of the driver was my lullaby
|
| I got the freight train blues
|
| Lordy lordy lordy, I got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
|
| And when the whistle blows, I got to go Oh lordy don’t you know it It looks like I’m never gonna lose the freight train blues
|
| Well, my daddy was a farmer and my mama dear
|
| She was the only daughter of the engineer
|
| My sweetie was a brakeman and it ain’t no joke
|
| It’s a shame the way they keep a good man broke
|
| I got the freight train blues
|
| I got the freight train blues
|
| I got the freight train
|
| Well, my daddy was a farmer and my mama dear
|
| she was the only daughter of the engineer
|
| My sweetie was a brakeman and it ain’t no joke
|
| It’s a shame the way they keeps a good man broke
|
| I got the freight train blues
|
| Lordy lordy lordy, I got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
|
| And when the whistle blows, I got to go Oh lordy don’t you know it Looks like I’m never gonna lose the freight train blues
|
| Well the whistle blows I gotta go Oh lordy don’t you know it,
|
| Looks like I’m never gonna lose the freight train blues
|
| Well the only thing that makes me laugh I guess
|
| Is the southbound whistle on the southbound train
|
| The only place I want to go and I can’t go I got the freight train blues
|
| Lordy lordy lordy, I got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
|
| And when the whistle blows, I got to go Oh lordy don’t you know I’m never gonna lose the freight train blues |
