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
