Doc & Merle Watson - Freight Train Blues lyrics

Artist: Doc & Merle Watson

album: Sittin' Here Pickin' the Blues


I was born in dixie in a boomer shack
In a little shanty by a railroad track
The humming of the driver was my lullaby
And 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 rambling shoes
When the whistle blows I gotta go
Lordy lordy think I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues
My daddy is a fireman and my mom a dear
Well she's the only daughter of an engineer
My sweetie is a brakeman man it sure ain't a joke
Cus she knows just exactly how to keep me broke
I've got the freight train blues lordy lordy lordy
Got em in the bottom of my rambling shoes
When the whistle blows I gotta go
Lordy lordy I think I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues
I love the sweetest little girl in this whole town
She's the only thing that's made me settle down
The only thing that makes me want to navigate
Is the wildcat whistle on an outbound freight
I've got the freight train blues lordy lordy lordy
Got em in the bottom of my rambling shoes
When the whistle blows I gotta go
Lordy lordy think I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues
