Freight Train Blues

Freight Train Blues (货车布鲁斯) - Jimmy Dean

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

Was the only daughter of an engineer

My sweetie is 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
