Letra da Música Freight Train Blues de Derroll Adams

I was born in Dixie, in a boomer shack
Just a little shanty by the railroad tracks
Hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby
Freight train whistle taught me how to cry

Freight train blues
Got them in the middle of my ramblin' shoes

I'm old enough to quit this runnin' 'round
Tried a hundred times to settle down
Every time I find a place I want to stay
Freight train whistle sends me on my way
Freight train blues...
My daddy was a fireman and my mammy dear
Was the only daughter of an engineer
My sweetie's a brakeman and it ain't no joke
It's a shame she keeps a poor man broke

Freight train blues...

I was born in Dixie, in a boomer shack
Just a little shanty by the railroad tracks
Hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby
Freight train whistle taught me how to cry

Freight train blues...
