freight train blues - dan bern lyrics

Loading...

i was born in dixie in a boomer’s shack
just a little shanty by the railroad track
the freight train whistle taught me how to cry
the whinin’ of the driver was my lullaby

i got the freight train blues
lordy lordy lordy, i got ’em in the bottom of my
ramblin shoes
and when the whistle blows, i got to go
oh lordy don’t you know it,
looks like i’m never gonna lose the freight train blues

well, my daddy was a farmer and my mama dear
she was the only daughter of the engineer
my sweetie was a brakeman and it ain’t no joke
it’s a shame the way they keep a good man broke

i got the freight train blues
i got the freight train blues
i got the freight train…

well, my daddy was a farmer and my mama dear
she was the only daughter of the engineer
my sweetie was a brakeman and it ain’t no joke
it’s a shame the way they keeps a good man broke

i got the freight train blues
lordy lordy lordy, i got ’em in the bottom of my
ramblin shoes
and when the whistle blows, i got to go
oh lordy don’t you know it,
looks like i’m never gonna lose the freight train blues

well the whistle blows i gotta go
oh lordy don’t you know it,
looks like i’m never gonna lose the freight train blues

well the only thing that makes me laugh i guess
is the southbound whistle on the southbound train
the only place i want to go and i can’t go
i got the freight train blues
lordy lordy lordy, i got ’em in the bottom of my
ramblin shoes
and when the whistle blows, i got to go
oh lordy don’t you know i’m never gonna lose the
freight train blues
