Freight Train Blues - Roy Acuff
Written by:Roy Acuff
I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack
Just a little shanty by a railroad track
The hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby
A 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
And when the whistle blows I've gotta go
Oh lordy I guess I'm never gonna lose freight train blues
My daddy was a fireman and my mammy dear
She was the only daughter of an engineer
My sister married a brakeman and it ain't no joke
It's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke
I've got freight train blues lordy lordy lordy
I've got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
And when the whistle blows I've gotta go
Oh lordy I guess I'm never gonna lose freight train blues
A steamboat never stirs my soul
Aeroplanes and autos always leave me cold
The only thing that makes me want to navigate
Is a wild cat whistle on a south bound freight
I've got freight train blues lordy lordy lordy
I've got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
And when the whistle blows I've gotta go
Oh lordy I guess I'm never gonna lose freight train blues
NowI know I'm old enough to quit this running round
I've tried a hundred times to stop and settle down
But every time I find a place I want to stay
A freight train holler and I'm on my way
I've got freight train blues lordy lordy lordy
I've got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
And when the whistle blows I've gotta go
Oh lordy I guess I'm never gonna lose freight train blues
