Текст пісні
Now I was born in Dixie in a boomer shack
Just a little shanty by the railroad track
The hummin' of the brakeman was my lullaby
The freight train whistle taught me how to cry
I've got the freight train blues
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
When the whistle blows I've gotta go
Oh, Lordy
Guess I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues
Oh, my pappy came from Texas and my mammy dear
My pappy's occupation was an engineer
There's one thing for certain, I'm proud of my pa
He drove that old freight special down to Arkansas
I've got the freight train blues
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
I've got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
When the whistle blows I've gotta go
Oh, Lordy
Guess I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues
Oh, I came from Dixie in a boomer shack
Just a little shanty by the railroad track
The hummin' of the brakeman was my lullaby
The freight train whistle taught me how to cry
I've got the freight train blues
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
I've got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
When the whistle blows I've gotta go
Oh, Lordy
Guess I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues
