Freight Train Blues lyrics
Song information
Artist: Roy Acuff Album: Great Train Songs
Lyrics
I was born in dixie in a boomer? 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: I?e got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy Got ?m in the bottom of my ramblin shoes And when that whistle blows, i?e gotta go Oh! lordy! guess i? 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? no joke Now it? a shame the way she keeps a good man broke
Chorus: I?e got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy Got ?m in the bottom of my ramblin shoes And when the whistle blows, i?e gotta go Oh! lordy! guess i? never gonna lose The mean old freight train blues
