Williams, Hank - Freight Train Blues Lyrics
I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack
Just a little old shanty by a railroad track
The hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby
And a freight train whistle taught me how to cry
Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
And when that whistle blows, I've gotta go
Oh, lordy guess I'm never gonna lose
The mean old freight train blues
Now my Pappy was a fireman and my Mammy dear
Was the only daughter of an engineer
My sister married a brakeman and it ain't no joke
Now it's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke
Got 'em in the bottom of my ramblin' shoes
And when that whistle blows, I've gotta go
Oh, lordy guess I'm never gonna lose
The mean old freight train blues

my sister married a brake man and it ain't no joke it's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke
i can really hear the influence of this arrangement on Bob Dylan's early 60s cover on his first album. great to hear this, how lucky we are to have recordings of this music, in whatever quality, thanks for posting it.
For the time, the quality of this recording is just how a radio or victrola would sound, you privileged city boys.
Well, just imagine its as old as Hank is and then think on quality....
fantastic!!!! shame about the quality,but better like this than not at all!!
it's on the: Hank williams the legend begins 3CD box set, 40 euro's/40 dollars.
it has 40 unreleased health and happyness show songs and 4 songs that he sang when he was 18( all in terrible condition but for sure a must have for collectors like me!)
loved this,,,
Lucky this great tune survived... even in the shape it's in.
terrible quality
Love it, thanks. I thought I had everything Hank Sr. recorded. So I was told. Happy to find this. Fantastic.
not bad but i wished the sound was better. But thanks for posting lol
