Freight Train Blues (Live)

I was born in Dixie, in a boomer shack
 Just a little shanty by the railroad tracks
 Hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby
 Freight train whistle taught me how to cry
 Freight train blues
 Got them in the middle of my ramblin' shoes
 I'm old enough to quit this runnin' 'round
 Tried a hundred times to settle down
 Every time I find a place I want to stay
 Freight train whistle sends me on my way
 Freight train blues...
 My daddy was a fireman and my mammy dear
 Was the only daughter of an engineer
 My sweetie's a brakeman and it ain't no joke
 It's a shame she keeps a poor man broke
 Freight train blues...
 I was born in Dixie, in a boomer shack
 Just a little shanty by the railroad tracks
 Hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby
 Freight train whistle taught me how to cry
 Freight train blues...
