SINGER: Bob Dylan

SONG:Freight Train Blues

I was born in dixie in a boomer shack
just a little shanty by the railroad track
freight train was it taught me how to cry
hummin' of the driver was my lullaby
i got the freight train blues
oh lord mama, i got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes
and when the whistle blows i gotta go baby, don't you know
well, it looks like i'm never gonna lose the freight train blues.
Well, my daddy was a fireman and my old ma here,
she was the only daugther of the engineer
my sweetheart loved a brakeman and it ain't no joke
it's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke
i got the freight train blues
oh lord mama, i got them in the bottom of my rambling 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 me laugh again
is a southbound whistle on a southbound train
every place i wanna go
i never can go, because you know
i got the freight train blues
oh lord mama, i got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes.
