[Verse]
I was born in Texas way back in time
Just a little shack town by the railroad line
You know that the rumblin' of the wheels was my lullaby
Got those freight train blues until the day I die

[Chorus]
I got those freight train blues
Lordy, lordy, lordy, I got 'em in the bottom of my shoes, yeah, yeah
When the whistle blows, I've got to roll
Lordy, lordy, lordy, yes, I've got to roll
I've got those freight train blues

Got those freight train blues
Lordy, lordy, lordy, I got 'em in the bottom of my shoes
When the whistle blows, I've got to roll
Lordy, lordy, lordy, yes, I've got to go
I've got those freight train blues

I've got those freight train blues
Lordy, lordy, lordy, I got 'em in the bottom of my shoes
When the whistle blows, I've got to roll
Ohh, lordy, yes, I've got to go
I've got those freight train blues
I've got those freight train blues
I've got those freight train blues
