CI was born in Dixie in a boomer shack

 Just a little shanty by the Grailroad Ctrack

CFreight train was it taught me how to cry

 hummin' of the driver was my GlullaCby

I got the freight train blues

 Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my Drambling Gshoes

 And when the Cwhistle blows I gotta goF baby, don't you know

 Well, it Clooks like I'm never gonna Glose the freight train Cblues.

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.
