Freight Train Blues 1938 Version by Trixie Smith Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I asked the brakeman to let me ride the blind
I asked the brakeman to let me ride the blind
He said "Little girlie, you know this train ain't mine"

[Clarinet Solo]

[Verse 3]
That's a mean old fireman, cruel old engineer
That's a mean old fireman, cruel old engineer
It was a mean old train that took my man away from here

[Verse 4]
I've got the freight train bluеs, but I'm too darn mean to cry
I've got the frеight train blues, too darn mean to cry
I'm gonna love that man till the day he die
[Verse 5]
There's three trains ready but none ain't goin' my way
I say there's three trains ready but none ain't goin' my way
But the sun's gonna shine in my backdoor some day
