Verse 1
in a boomer shack,
E
A
just a little shanty by a railroad track.
The humming of the drivers was my lullaby,
E
A
A freight train whistle taught me how to cry.
I got the freight train blues,
Lordy, lordy, lordy,
Got them in the bottom of
D
A
Oh lordy, guess I'm never gonna lose
E
A
E
A
the freight train blues
My daddy was a fireman
and my mammy dear
E
A
Was the only daughter of an engineer
My sweetie is a brakeman
and it ain't no joke
It's a shame the way
E
A
she keeps her good man broke
I got the freight train blues,
laudy, laudy, laudy
Got them in the bottom of
D
A
Oh lordy, guess I'm never gonna lose
E
A
E
A
the freight train blues.
The blowing of a steamboat
never stirs my soul,
Aeroplanes and autos
me want to navigate
is the wild cat whistle on a

E
A
southbound freight.
I know I'm old enough to stop
this running around.
I've tried a hundred times
place I'd like to stay,
Hear a freight train holler
E
A
and I'm on my way.
I got the freight train blues,
Lordy, lordy, lordy.
Got them in the bottom of
D
A
Oh, Lordy, guess I'm never gonna lose
E
A
the freight train blues.
