FREIGHT TRAIN BLUES (Roy Acuff?) Well I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack It was just a little shanty by the railroad track The whinin' of the diesel was my - lullaby And that freight train whistle taught me how to cry. cho: I got the Freight Train Blues - Lordy Lordy Lordy I got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoe-oe-s When the whistle blows I gotta go-oh O-Oh Lordy, I guess I'm never gonna lose the Freight Train Blues. Well my daddy was a farmer and my mama dear She was the only daughter of an engineer My sweetie is a brakeman an' it ain't no joke You should see - the way she makes a good man broke! Airplanes and autos always leaves me cold The moanin' of a diesel never fills my soul The only thing that makes me want to navigate Is my sweetheart's whistle and a south-bound freight : OO- OO!! Well I know I'm old enough to quit my - runnin' round An' I've tried a hundred times to stop an' - settle down But every time I find a place I'd - like to stay I hear that freight train whistle and I'm on my way-ay @train @country filename[ FRTRNBLU Feb07  8note Sheet |
