Freight Train Blues Chords

C I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack G7 C Just a little old shanty by a railroad track The hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby G7 C and a freight train whistle taught me how to cry. Chorus: C I've got the freight train blues Lordy Lordy Lordy D7 G7 Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes C C7 And when that whistle blows I've gotta go F C A7 Oh! Lordy! guess I'm never gonna lose D7 G7 C The mean old freight train blues. C Now my Pappy was a fireman and my Mammy dear G7 C Was the only daughter of an en-gin- eer My sister married a brakeman and it ain't no joke G7 C Now it's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke.
