Freight Train Blues lyrics

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

I asked the brake man to let me ride the blind
I asked the brake man to let me ride the blind
He said `Little girlie, you know this train ain`t mine`

(Sidney Bechet plays a blue clarinet solo here)

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

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 man till the day he die

There`s three trains ready but none ain`t goin` my way
I said there`s three trains ready but none ain`t goin` my way
But the sun`s gonna shine in my backdoor some day
