Derroll Adams - Freight Train Blues lyrics

I was born in Dixie, in a boomer shack Just a little shanty by the railroad tracks Hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby Freight train whistle taught me how to cry Freight train blues Got them in the middle of my ramblin' shoes I'm old enough to quit this runnin' 'round Tried a hundred times to settle down Every time I find a place I want to stay Freight train whistle sends me on my way Freight train blues... My daddy was a fireman and my mammy dear Was the only daughter of an engineer My sweetie's a brakeman and it ain't no joke It's a shame she keeps a poor man broke Freight train blues... I was born in Dixie, in a boomer shack Just a little shanty by the railroad tracks Hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby Freight train whistle taught me how to cry Freight train blues...
