Tennessee Ernie Ford - Freight Train Blues lyrics
I was born in Dixie in a boomer’s shack Just a little old shanty by a railroad track The hummin’ of the drivers was my lullaby And a freight train whistle taught me how to cry Chorus: I’ve got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy Got ’em in the bottom of my ramblin’ shoes And when that whistle blows, I gotta go oh! lordy! guess I’m never gonna lose The mean old freight train blues My father was a fireman and my momma dear Was the only daughter of an engineer My sister married a brakeman and it ain’t no joke Now it’s a shame the way she keeps a good man broke I know I'am old enough to quit my runnin' round I tried a hundred times to stop and settle down but every time I find a place that I want to stay I hear a freight train whistle and I'm on my way Chorus: I’ve got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy Got ’em in the bottom of my ramblin’ shoes And when the whistle blows, I gotta’ go oh! lordy! guess I’m never gonna’ lose The mean old freight train blues There's that ole mournful whistle...so...so long |
