Freight Train Blues

Freight Train Blues - Jmmy Dean

Then I was born in Dixie in a boomer shack

Just a little shanty by the railroad track

The humming of the drivers was my lullaby

And a freight train whistle taught me how to cry

I got the freight train blues lawdy lawdy lawdy

Got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes

And when the whistle blows I gotta go

Oh lawdy

I guess I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues

Now my pappy was a fireman

And my mammy dear

She was the only daughter of an engineer

My sweetie was a brakeman and it ain't no joke

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

I got the freight train blues lawdy lawdy lawdy

Got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes

And when the whistle blows I gotta go

Oh lawdy

I guess I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues
