Well I was born in Dixie in a two-liter shack Just [D] a little [E] shanty by the railroad [A] track
Hummin' alms and rhymes was my lullaby A freight train whistle taught me how to [A] fly
I got the freight train blues _ _ _ _ _ _
Lawdy, lawdy, lawdy I got them in [B] the bottom of my ramblin' sleigh
[E] I got the freight train blues
And when I hit [A] that whistle blow, _ [D]
oh Lord I got a cold
I guess I'm never gonna lose a [A] freight train blues
_ _ _ _ _ Well my daddy was a fireman and my mama a dill She was the only daughter of an engineer
My baby loves a brakeman and it ain't no joke Well it's a dog gone [E] change the way she keeps me roll
I got the freight train blues _ _

_ _ _ Well a steamboat whistle never stirred my soul And airplanes and autos always [B] keep me cold
The only thing that [A] made me wanna navigate Was a southbound whistle of a wildcat free
_ I got the freight train blues _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Lawdy, lawdy, lawdy I got them in the bottom of my [B] ramblin' sleigh
