[00:23.00]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

[00:50.31]The freight train blues
[00:51.93]
