[VERSE 1]
A
I was born in dixie in a boomer's shack
E A
In a little shanty by a railroad track
A
The humming of the driver was my lullaby
E A
And the freight train whistle taught me how to cry

[CHORUS]
A
I've got the freight train blues lordy lordy lordy
B7 E7
Got em in the bottom of my rambling shoes
A A7
When the whistle blows I gotta go
D A E7 A
Lordy lordy think I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues

[VERSE 2]
A
My daddy is a fireman and my mom a dear
E A
Well she's the only daughter of an engineer
A
My sweetie is a brakeman man it sure ain't a joke
E A
Cus she knows just exactly how to keep me broke

[CHORUS]
A
I've got the freight train blues lordy lordy lordy
B7 E7
Got em in the bottom of my rambling shoes
A A7
When the whistle blows I gotta go
D A E7 A
Lordy lordy I think I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues

[VERSE 3]
A
I love the sweetest little girl in this whole town
E A
She's the only thing that's made me settle down
A
The only thing that makes me want to navigate
E A
Is the wildcat whistle on an outbound freight
