Freight Train Blues Lyrics - Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan

I was born in Dixie in a boomer's 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 

I've got the freight train blues 

Oh, lawdy mama got 'em 

On the bottom of my ramblin' shoes 

And when the whistle blows, I gotta go 

Baby, don't you know 

It looks like I'm never gonna lose 

The freight train blues

Well, my daddy was a fireman and my mama hear 

She was the only daughter of the engineer 

My sweetheart loved the brakeman and that ain't no joke 

It's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke 

I got the freight train blues 

Oh, lawdy mama got 'em 

On the bottom of my ramblin' shoes 

And when the whistle blows, I gotta go 

Oh, mama don't you know 

Well it looks like I'm never gonna lose 

The freight train blues

Well, the only thing that makes you laugh again 

Is a south bound whistle on a south bound train 

Every place I want to go 

I never can go because you know 

Because I got the freight train blues 

Oh, lawdy mama got 'em 

On the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
