Freight Train Blues

Trixie Smith

E E7 A Am E H7
E
I hate to hear that freight train blow, boo-hoo.
A E
I hate to hear that freight train blow, boo-hoo.
H7 A7 E
Every time I hear it bowin' I feel like ridin' too.
E E7 A Am E H7
 
I asked the brakeman to let me ride the blind; 
Yes, I asked the brakeman to let me ride the blind. 
He said: "My old fellow you know the train ain't mine". 
 
That’s the mean old fireman, cruel old engineer, 
mean old fireman, cruel old engineer. 
It was mean old train that took my woman away from here. 
 
I’ve got the freight train blues, but I’m too darn mean to cry. 
I’ve got the freight train blues, too darn mean to cry. 
I’m gonna love that woman till the day she dies. 
 
I hate to hear that freight train blow, boo-hoo. 
I hate to hear that freight train blow, boo-hoo. 
Every time I hear it blowin' I feel like ridin' too.
