Freight Train Blues

I haven't posted here in a long time,

but who among us doesn't love an old bluesy song 

about a freight train.

Especially when it is only 4 chords :) 

D
I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack
                              A7       D
Just a little old shanty by a railroad track
 
The humming of the drivers was my lullaby
                                      A7     D
And a freight train whistle taught me how to cry
 
                                                    
I've got the freight train blues Lordy Lordy Lordy
                            E7       A7
Got 'em in the bottom of my rambling shoes
    D
And when that whistle blows I've gotta go 
G         D
Oh Lordy  guess I'm never gonna lose
    A7            D
The freight train blues
 
                                             
Now my Pappy was a fireman and my Mammy dear
                            A7    D
Was the only daughter of an en-gineer
 
My sister married a brakeman and it ain't no joke
                                     A7       D
Now it's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke

I've got the freight train blues Lordy Lordy Lordy
                            E7       A7
Got 'em in the bottom of my rambling shoes
    D
And when that whistle blows I've gotta go 
G         D
Oh Lordy  guess I'm never gonna lose
    A7            D
The freight train blues

Have great day, and keep on,

Strumming & Singing :)
