I was born in Dixie in a boomer shack
Just a little shanty by the railroad track
Freight train was it taught me how to cry
Hummin' of the driver was my lullaby
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 baby don't you know
Well it looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues
Well my daddy was a fireman and my old ma here
She was the only daughter of the engineer
My sweetheart loved a brakeman and it ain't no joke
It's a shame the 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 want to 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
