Freight Train Blues chords by Hank Williams

Chords with lyrics

C majorC
I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack
G7G7    C majorC
Just a little old shanty by a railroad track
The hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby
G7G7   C majorC
and a freight train whistle taught me how to cry.

Chorus:
C majorC
I've got the freight train blues
Lordy
Lordy
Lordy
D7D7    G7G7
Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
C majorC                   C7C7
And when that whistle blows
I've gotta go
FF     C majorC          A7A7
Oh! Lordy! guess I'm never gonna lose
D7D7    G7G7      C majorC
The mean old freight train blues.
C majorC
Now my Pappy was a fireman and my Mammy dear
G7G7   C majorC
Was the only daughter of an en-gin- eer
My sister married a brakeman and it ain't no joke
G7G7    C majorC
Now it's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke.

Chorus:
C majorC
I've got the freight train blues
Lordy
Lordy
Lordy
D7D7    G7G7
Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
C majorC                   C7C7
And when the whistle blows
I've gotta go
FF     C majorC          A7A7
Oh! Lordy! guess I'm never gonna lose
D7D7    G7G7      C majorC
The mean old freight train blues.
