I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shackJust a little old shanty by a railroad trackThe humming of the drivers was my lullabyAnd a freight train whistle taught me how to cryI've got the freight train blues, Lordy, Lordy, LordyGot them in the bottom of my ramblin' shoesAnd when that whistle blows, I've gotta goOh, Lordy, guess I'm never gonna loseThe mean old freight train bluesNow my pappy was a fireman and my mammy dearWas the only daughter of an engineerMy sister married a brakeman and it ain't no jokeNow it's a shame the way she keeps a good man brokeI've got the freight train blues, Lordy, Lordy, LordyGot them in the bottom of my ramblin' shoesAnd when that whistle blows, I've gotta goOh, Lordy, guess I'm never gonna loseThe mean old freight train blues From Letras Mania
