Freight Train Blues Recorded by Hank Williams 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
A7 Oh lordy guess I'm never gonna lose
D7
G7
C The mean old freight train blues
Now my Pappy was a fireman and my Mammy dear
G7 C Was the only daughter of an engineer
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
I've got the freight train blues lordy lordy lordy
D7 G7
Got 'em in the bottom of my rambling shoes
C
And when the whistle blows I've gotta go F
C
A7 Oh lordy guess I'm never gonna lose
D7
G7
C The mean old freight train blues
