I was born in dixie in a boomer's shack |
| [00:25.18] |
Just a little shanty by the railroad track |
| [00:27.34] |
Freight train was it taught me how to cry |
| [00:29.15] |
The holler of the driver was my lullaby. |
| [00:31.95] |
I've got the freight train blues (hee, hee, hoo) |
| [00:38.14] |
Oh, lawdy mama got em on the bottom of my ramblin' shoes |
| [00:44.96] |
And when the whistle blows, i gotta go |
| [00:46.87] |
Baby don't you know |
| [00:48.36] |
It looks like i'm never gonna lose |
| [00:50.31] |
The freight train blues |
| [00:51.93] |
|
| [01:03.02] |
Well, my daddy was a fireman and my mama hear |
| [01:04.65] |
She was the only daughter of the engineer |
| [01:06.78] |
My sweetheart loved the brakeman and that ain't no joke |
| [01:08.54] |
Its a shame the way she keeps a good man broke |
| [01:11.26] |
I got the freight train blues (hee, hee, hoo) |
| [01:29.00] |
Oh, lawdy i got em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes |
| [01:32.91] |

Well it looks like i'm never gonna lose |
| [01:37.99] |
The freight train blues. |

Well, the only thing that makes you laugh again |
| [01:45.09] |
Is a south bound whistle on a south bound train |
| [01:46.72] |
Every place i want to go |
| [01:47.93] |
