I was born in dixie in a boomerÅ  shack

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

IÅ e got the freight train blues lordy lordy lordy

Got Å  m in the bottom of my ramblin shoes

And when that whistle blows IÅ e gotta go

Oh lordy guess IÅ  never gonna lose

The mean old freight train blues

Now my pappy was a fireman and my mammy dear

Was 52433,-16)the only daughter of an engineer

My sister married a brakeman and it ainÅ  no joke

Now it a shame the way she keeps a good man broke 60980,-698)

IÅ e got the freight train blues lordy lordy lordy

Got Å  m in the bottom of my ramblin shoes

And when the whistle blows IÅ e gotta go

Oh lordy guess IÅ  never gonna lose 112596,-35)
