Freight Train Blues by Jack Guthrie
Freight Train Blues
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse]
A
I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack
E A
Just a little old shanty by a railroad track
A
The hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby
E A
And a freight train whistle taught me how to cry
[Chorus]
A
I've got the freight train blues Lordy Lordy Lordy
B E
Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
A
And when that whistle blows I've gotta go
F#m A E A
Oh Lordy I guess I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues
[Verse]
A
Now a steamboat never stirs my soul
E A
And aeroplanes and autos always leave me cold
A
The only thing that makes me want to navigate
E A
Is the wildcat whistle on a south bound freight
[Chorus]
A
I've got the freight train blues Lordy Lordy Lordy
B E
Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
A
And when that whistle blows I've gotta go
F#m A E A
Oh Lordy I guess I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues
