I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack
Just a little shanty by a railroad track
A freight train whistle showed me how to cry
Hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby
I've got the freight train blues
Oh Lordy mama, I got 'em at the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
When that whistle blows I've gotta go, no, baby don't you know
It looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues
Well, father was a farmer, mother dear
Was the only daughter of an engineer
Sweetheart, brakeman, it ain't no joke
Shame the way she keeps a good man broke
I've got the freight train blues
Oh Lordy mama, I got 'em at the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
Whistle blows I've gotta go, no, baby don't you know
It looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues
Well, the only thing that makes me laugh again
Is a southbound whistle on a southbound train
Everywhere I wanna go, I never can go because you know
I got the freight train blues
Hey Lordy mama, I got 'em at the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
The whistle blows I've gotta go, no, baby don't you know
It looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues
I've got the freight train blues
Oh Lordy mama, I got 'em at the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
The whistle blows I've gotta go, no, baby don't you know
It looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues
