Roy Acuff - Freight Train Blues Lyrics
I was born in dixie in a boomer? shack,Just a little old shanty by arailroadtrack,The humminof the drivers was my lullaby,And a freight train whistle taught mehow tocry.Chorus:I?e got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy,Got ?m in the bottom of myramblin shoes,Andwhen that whistle blows, I?e gotta go,oh! lordy!guess I? never gonnalose,Themean oldfreight trainblues.now my pappy was a fireman and my mammy dear,Was the only daughter of anengineer,My sister married a brakeman and it ain? no joke,Now it? a shame the way she keeps agood manbroke.Chorus:I?e got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy,Got ?m in the bottom of myramblin shoes,And when the whistle blows, I?e gotta go,oh! lordy!guess I? never gonnalose,Themean oldfreight trainblues.
