paroles de chanson Freight Train Blues - Bob Dylan

I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack
Just a little shanty by the railroad track
Freight train was it taught me how to cry
Hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby

I got the freight train blues
Oh, lawdy mama, got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
And when the whistle blows, I gotta go
Baby, don't you know?
It looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues

Well, my daddy was a fireman and my mama, her
She was the only daughter of the engineer
My sweetheart loved the brakeman and that ain't no joke
It's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke

I got the freight train blues
Oh, lawdy mama got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
And when the whistle blows, I gotta go
Oh, mama, don't you know?
Well, it looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues

Well, the only thing that makes me laugh again
Is a southbound whistle on a southbound train
Every place I want to go
I never can go because, you know

I got the freight train blues
Oh, lawdy mama, got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
