I was born in Dixie in a boomer shed |
| [00:25.09] |
Just a little shanty by the railroad track |
| [00:26.78] |
Freight train was it taught me how to cry |
| [00:28.65] |
The holler of the driver was my lullaby |
| [00:32.59] |
I got the freight train blues |
| [00:38.77] |
Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes |
| [00:44.47] |
And when the whistle blows I got to go |
| [00:47.28] |
Baby don't you know |
| [00:48.46] |
Well, it looks like I'm never going to lose |
| [00:49.78] |
The freight train blues |
| [01:02.40] |
Well, my daddy was a fireman and my mama-ha |
| [01:04.97] |
She was the only daughter of an engineer |
| [01:06.71] |
My sweetheart was a brakeman and it ain't no joke |
| [01:08.41] |
Seems a waste to get a good man broke |
| [01:10.77] |
I got the freight train blues |
| [01:28.70] |
Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes |
| [01:32.57] |
And when the whistle blows I got to go |
| [01:34.57] |
Mama don't you know |
| [01:35.95] |
Well it looks like I'm never going to lose |
| [01:37.70] |
The freight train blues |
| [01:42.14] |
Well, the only thing that makes me laugh again |
| [01:44.07] |
Is a southbound whistle on a southbound train |
| [01:46.13] |
Every place I want to go |
| [01:48.13] |
I never can go |
| [01:49.84] |
Because you know I got the freight train blues |
| [01:56.03] |
Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes |
