Freight Train Blues

歌詞

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
