Freight Train Blues - Roy Acuff/Donald Cooks/Connie Kroll

I was born in Dixie in a boomers shack

Just a little old shanty by a railroad track

The hummin of the drivers was my lullaby

And a freight train whistle taught me how to cry

I've got the freight train blues Lordy Lordy Lordy

I've got them in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes

And when that whistle blows I've gotta go

Oh Lordy 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 sister married a brakeman and it ain't no joke

Now it's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke

I've got the freight train blues Lordy Lordy Lordy

I've got them in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes

And when the whistle blows I've gotta go

Oh Lordy I guess I'm never gonna lose

The freight train blues

A steamboat moan never stirs my soul

Aeroplanes and autos always leave me cold

The only thing that makes me most laugh again

Is a southbound whistle on a southbound train

I've got the freight train blues Lordy Lordy Lordy

I've got them in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes

And when the whistle blows I've gotta go

Oh Lordy I guess I'm never gonna lose

The freight train blues

Now I know I'm old enough to quit this running around

I've tried a hundred times to stop and settle down

But every time I find a place I'd want to stay

A freight train holler and I'm on my way

I've got the freight train blues Lordy Lordy Lordy

I've got them in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes

And when the whistle blows I've gotta go

Oh Lordy I guess I'm never gonna lose

The freight train blues
