Freight Train Blues Lyrics
Artist: Roy Acuff
Album: Great Train Songs
I was born in dixie in a boomerÅ shack,
Just a little old shanty by a railroad track,
The humminof the drivers was my lullaby,
And a freight train whistle taught me how to cry.
Chorus:
IÅ e got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy,
Got Å ?m in the bottom of my ramblin shoes,
And when that whistle blows, IÅ e gotta go,
oh! lordy! guess IÅ 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 ainÅ no joke,
Now itÅ a shame the way she keeps a good man broke.
Chorus:
IÅ e got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy,
Got Å ?m in the bottom of my ramblin shoes,
And when the whistle blows, IÅ e gotta go,
oh! lordy! guess IÅ never gonna lose,
The mean old freight train blues.
