Doc Watson – Freight Train Blues (Guitar)

A
I was born in dixie in a boomer's shack

                        E        A
In a little shanty by a railroad track

A
The humming of the driver was my lullaby

                                        E      A
And the freight train whistle taught me how to cry

A
I've got the freight train blues lordy lordy lordy

                           B7           E7
Got em in the bottom of my rambling shoes

         A                      A7
When the whistle blows I gotta go

D           A                              E7            A
Lordy lordy think I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues

A
My daddy is a fireman and my mom a dear

                                   E      A
Well she's the only daughter of an engineer

A
My sweetie is a brakeman man it sure ain't a joke

                                  E       A
Cus she knows just exactly how to keep me broke

A
I've got the freight train blues lordy lordy lordy

                           B7           E7
Got em in the bottom of my rambling shoes

         A                      A7
When the whistle blows I gotta go

D             A                              E7            A
Lordy lordy I think I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues

A
I love the sweetest little girl in this whole town

                                    E      A
She's the only thing that's made me settle down

A
The only thing that makes me want to navigate

                             E        A
Is the wildcat whistle on an outbound freight

A
I've got the freight train blues lordy lordy lordy

                           B7           E7
Got em in the bottom of my rambling shoes

         A                      A7
When the whistle blows I gotta go

D             A                              E7            A E A
Lordy lordy I think I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues
