I was born in Dixie in a boomer 
shack
                            G      
Just a little shanty by the 
  C
railroad track

Freight train was it taught me how 
to cry
                             G    C
hummin' of the driver was my lullaby

I got the freight train blues
Oh Lord mama, I got them in the 
             D        G
bottom of my rambling shoes
             C                     
And when the whistle blows I gotta 
  F
go baby, don't you know
         C                         
Well, it looks like I'm never gonna
 G                      C
 lose the freight train blues.


Well, my daddy was a fireman and my 
old ma here,
She was the only daugther of an 
engineer
My sweetheart loved a brakeman and 
it ain't no joke
It's a shamethe way she keeps a good
 man broke
I got the freight train blues
Oh Lord mama, I got them in the 
bottom of my rambling shoes
And when the whistle blows I gotta 
go oh mama, don't you know
Well, 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
Every place I wanna go
I never can go, because you know
I got the freight train blues
Oh Lord mama, I got them in the 
bottom of my rambling shoes.
