letra de freight train blues - ramblin' jack elliott

Loading...

i was born in dixie in a boomer shack
just a little shanty by the railroad track
the humming of the drivers was my lullaby
and a freight train whistle taught me how to cry

[chorus]
i got the freight train blues
lordy, lordy, lordy
got ’em in the bottom of my ramblin’ shoes
when the whistle blows, i got to go
oh, lordy, guess i’m never gonna lose the freight train blues

well, airplanes and autos all leave me cold
and a steamboat whistle never stirs my soul
the only thing that makes me wanna navigate
is the wildcat whistle on a southbound freight

[chorus]

well, my daddy was a fireman and my momma dear
she was the only daughter of an engineer
sister loves a brakeman and it is no joke
it’s a wonder how she keeps a good man broke

[chorus]

now, i’ve rambled through the cities and i’ve traveled through the towns
and i never can find a place to stop and settle down
every time i find a place i’d like to stay
a freight train hollers and i’m on my way

[chorus]
