Freight Train Blues

歌詞

I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack Just a little old shanty by a railroad track The hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby And a freight train whistle taught me how to cry I've got the freight train blues, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes And when that whistle blows, I've gotta go Oh Lordy, guess I'm never gonna lose The mean old freight train blues Now my pappy was a fireman and my mammy dear Was the only daughter of an engineer My sister married a brakeman and it ain't no joke Now it's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke I've got the freight train blues, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes And when that whistle blows, I've gotta go Oh Lordy, guess I'm never gonna lose The mean old freight train blues
