Lyrics[]
I was born in Dixie in a boomer shack
Just a little shanty by the railroad track
The humming of the driver was my lullaby
And a freight train whistle taught me how to cry
I got the freight train blues
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes
And when the whistle blows I gotta go
Oh Lordy, Guess I’m never gonna lose the freight train blues
The steamboat's whistle never stirs my soul
Aeroplanes and autos always leave me cold
The only thing that makes me want to navigate
Is a wildcat whistle on a south bound freight
I got the freight train blues
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes
And when the whistle blows I gotta go
Oh Lordy, Guess I’m never gonna lose the freight train blues
Never gonna lose the freight train blues
