Hank Williams - Freight Train Blues Lyrics

Lyrics Freight Train Blues - Hank Williams



Just a little old shanty by a railroad track,
The hummin′ of the drivers was my lullaby,
And a freight train whistle taught me how to cry.
Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin′ shoes,
And when that whistle blows, i've gotta go,
Oh! lordy! guess i'm never gonna lose,
The mean old freight train blues
Was the only daughter of an engineer,
My sister married a brakeman and it ain′t no joke,
Now it′s a shame the way she keeps a good man broke.
Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin′shoes,
And(c) when the whistle blows, I've gotta go
Oh! lordy! guess i′m never gonna lose,
The mean old freight train blues
