Freight Train Blues
recorded by Jimmy Dean
written by John Lair
 
C
I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack
                              G7       C
Just a little old shanty by a railroad track
 
The humming of the drivers was my lullaby
                                      G7     C
And a freight train whistle taught me how to cry
 
                                                    
I've got the freight train blues Lordy Lordy Lordy
                            D7       G7
Got 'em in the bottom of my rambling shoes
    C
And when that whistle blows I've gotta go 
F         C
Oh Lordy  guess I'm never gonna lose
    G7            C
The freight train blues
 
                                             
Now my Pappy was a fireman and my Mammy dear
                            G7    C
Was the only daughter of an en-gineer
 
My sister married a brakeman and it ain't no joke
                                     G7       C
Now it's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke
 
Repeat #2
