Freight Train Blues chords

[C]I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack,
Just a little old shanty by a [G7]railroad [C]track,
The hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby,
and a freight train whistle taught me [G7]how to [C]cry.

[CHORUS]
[C]I've got the freight train blues, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy,
Got 'em in the bottom of my [D7]ramblin' [G7]shoes,
And [C]when that whistle blows, I've gotta go, [C7]
[F]Oh! Lordy! [C]guess I'm never gonna [A7]lose,
The [D7]mean old [G7]freight train [C]blues.

[C]Now my Pappy was a fireman and my Mammy dear,
Was the only daughter of an [G7]en-gin- [C]eer,
My sister married a brakeman and it ain't no joke,
Now it's a shame the way she keeps a [G7]good man [C]broke.

[CHORUS]
[C]I've got the freight train blues, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy,
Got 'em in the bottom of my [D7]ramblin' [G7]shoes,
And [C]when the whistle blows, I've gotta go, [C7]
[F]Oh! Lordy! [C]guess I'm never gonna [A7]lose,
The [D7]mean old [G7]freight train [C]blues.
