Freight Train Blues Chords by Hank Williams

Freight Train Blues chords by Hank Williams

Guitar chords with lyrics

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.

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 the 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.
