Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I was born in Dixie in a boomer shack Just a little shanty by the railroad track Freight train was, it taught me how to cry Hummin' of the driver was my lullaby I got the freight train blues Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes And when the whistle blows, I gotta go baby, don't you know Well, it looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues Well, my daddy was a fireman and my old ma here She was the only daughter of the engineer My sweetheart loved a brakeman and it ain't no joke It's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke I got the freight train blues Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes And when the whistle blows I gotta go oh mama, don't you know Well, it looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues Well, the only thing that makes me laugh again Is a southbound whistle on a southbound train Every place I want to go I never can go, because you know I got the freight train blues Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes
