Freight Train Blues Bob Dylan

[Verse 1]
I was born in Dixie in a boomer shack
Just a little shanty by the railroad track
Freight train was it taught me how to cry
The holler of the driver was my lullaby

[Chorus]
I got the freight train blues
Oh Lordy mama, got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes
And when the whistle blows I got to go baby, don't you know
Well, it looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues

[Verse 2]
Well, my daddy was a fireman and my mama-her
She was the only daughter of an engineer
My sweetheart was a brakeman and it ain't no joke
It's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke

[Chorus]
I got the freight train blues
Oh Lordy mama, got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes
And when the whistle blows I got to go woah mama, don't you know
Well, it looks like I'm never going to lose the freight train blues

[Verse 3]
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't go
Because you know
