Font:      
Align:    
  • (c) i was born in dixie in a boomer's shack,
  • Just a little old shanty by a (g7) railroad (c) track,
  • The hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby,
  • And a freight train whistle taught me (g7) how to (c) cry.
  • Chorus:
  • (c) i've got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy,
  • Got 'em in the bottom of my (d7) ramblin' (g7) shoes,
  • And (c) when that whistle blows, i've gotta go, (c7)
  • (f) oh! lordy! (c) guess i'm never gonna (a7) lose,
  • The (d7) mean old (g7) freight train (c) blues.
  • (c) now my pappy was a fireman and my mammy dear,
  • Was the only daughter of an (g7) en-gin- (c) eer,
  • My sister married a brakeman and it ain't no joke,
  • Now it's a shame the way she keeps a (g7) good man (c) broke.
  • Chorus: (one word changed, that whistle, to, the whistle.)
  • (c) i've got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy,
  • Got 'em in the bottom of my (d7) ramblin' (g7) shoes,
  • And(c) when the whistle blows, i've gotta go, (c7)
  • (f) oh! lordy! (c) guess i'm never gonna (a7) lose,
  • The (d7) mean old (g7) freight train (c) blues.
