Freight Train Blues (Bob Dylan) (2025 Digitally Remastered) - Bob Dylan

Composed by：Trad/Dylan

I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack

Just a little shanty by the railroad track

Freight train was it taught me how to cry

Hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby

I got the freight train blues

Oh lawdy mama got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes

And when the whistle blows I gotta go

Baby don't you know?

It looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues

Well my daddy was a fireman and my mama her

She was the only daughter of the engineer

My sweetheart loved the brakeman and that ain't no joke

It's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke

I got the freight train blues

Oh lawdy mama got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes

And when the whistle blows I gotta go

Oh mama don't you know?

Well it looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues

Well the only thing that makes me laugh again

Is a southbound whistle on a southbound train

Every place I want to go

I never can go because you know

I got the freight train blues

Oh lawdy mama got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
