Bummin' On Old Freight Train Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

I was a wild and reckless hobo left my girl and home 

Started out on a western trip all by myself alone 

My pocketbook was empty my heart was filled with pain 

Thousand miles away from home just a bummin' an old freight train 

Just a bummin' an old freight train oh Lord bummin' an old freight train 

Thousand miles away from home just a bummin' an old freight train 

I was standing on the platform smoking a cheap cigar 

Waiting for an old feeight train to catch an empty car 

My pocketbook was empty... 

I pulled my cab down over my eyes I walked up to the track 

I caught disturb of a sleeping car and never did look back 

My pocketbook was empty...
