This is hank williams 1939-40 version on the 10 cd box set from mercury.





(c) I was born in dixie in a boomers shack,

Just a little old shanty by a (g7) railroad (c) track,

The hummin of the drivers was my lullaby,

And a freight train whistle taught me (g7) how to (c) cry.



Chorus:

(c) Ive got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy,

Got em in the bottom of my (d7) ramblin (g7) shoes,

And (c) when that whistle blows, Ive gotta go, (c7)

(f) oh! lordy! (c) guess Im never gonna (a7) lose,

The (d7) mean old (g7) freight train (c) blues.



(c) now my pappy was a fireman and my mammy dear,

Was the only daughter of an (g7) en-gin- (c) eer,

My sister married a brakeman and it aint no joke,

Now its a shame the way she keeps a (g7) good man (c) broke.



Chorus: (one word changed, that whistle, to, the whistle.)

(c) Ive got the freight train blues, lordy, lordy, lordy,

Got em in the bottom of my (d7) ramblin (g7) shoes,

And(c) when the whistle blows, Ive gotta go, (c7)

(f) oh! lordy! (c) guess Im never gonna (a7) lose,

The (d7) mean old (g7) freight train (c) blues.
