Freight Train Blues

Freight Train Blues (货车布鲁斯) - Roy Acuff

I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack

Just a little shanty by the railroad track

The holler of the driver was my lullaby

Freight train was it taught me how to cry

I've got the freight train blues

I got 'em on the bottom of my ramblin' shoes

And when the whistle blows I gotta go

The freight train blues

My daddy was a fireman and my mama hear

She was the only daughter of the engineer

My sweetheart loved the brakeman and that ain't no joke

It's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke

I got the freight train blues

I got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes

And when the whistle blows I gotta go

The freight train blues

The only thing that makes me want to laugh again

I got the freight train blues

I got 'em on the bottom of my ramblin' shoes

And when the whistle blows I gotta go

I got The freight train blues

I got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes

And when the whistle blows I gotta go

The freight train blues
