C I was born in Dixie in a boomer shack G C Just a little shanty by the railroad track C Freight train was it taught me how to cry G C hummin' of the driver was my lullaby I got the freight train blues D G Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes C F And when the whistle blows I gotta go baby, don't you know C G C Well, it looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues. Well, my daddy was a fireman and my old ma here, She was the only daugther of an engineer My sweetheart loved a brakeman and it ain't no joke It's a shamethe way she keeps a good man broke I got the freight train blues Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my rambling 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 wanna go I never can go, because you know I got the freight train blues Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes. | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsC D F G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
