Hank Williams - Freight train blues

^CI was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack, Just a little old shanty by a ^G7railroad ^Ctrack, The hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby, and a freight train whistle taught me ^G7how to ^Ccry.

^CI've got the freight train blues, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Got 'em in the bottom of my ^D7ramblin' ^G7shoes, And ^Cwhen that whistle blows, I've gotta go, ^{C7 F}Oh! Lordy! ^Cguess I'm never gonna ^A7lose, The ^D7mean old ^G7freight train ^Cblues.

^CNow my Pappy was a fireman and my Mammy dear, Was the only daughter of an ^G7en-gin- ^Ceer, My sister married a brakeman and it ain't no joke, Now it's a shame the way she keeps a ^G7good man ^Cbroke.

^CI've got the freight train blues, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Got 'em in the bottom of my ^D7ramblin' ^G7shoes, And ^Cwhen the whistle blows, I've gotta go, ^{C7 F}Oh! Lordy! ^Cguess I'm never gonna ^A7lose, The ^D7mean old ^G7freight train ^Cblues.
