I was born in Dixie in a boomer shack

                            G        C
Just a little shanty by the railroad track

C
Freight train was it taught me how to cry

                             G    C
hummin' of the driver was my lullaby

I got the freight train blues

                                             D        G
Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes

             C                       F
And when the whistle blows I gotta go baby, don't you know

         C                          G                      C
Well, it looks like I'm never gonna 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.
