Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hate to hear that engine blow, boo-hoo
I hate to hear that engine blow, boo-hoo
Everytime I hear it blowin', I feel like ridin' too
[Verse 2]
I've got the freight train blues, got fun times on my mind
Got the freight train blues, got fun times on my mind
I'm gonna leave this town, 'cause my man is gone on time
[Verse 3]
I'm goin' away just to wear you off my mind
I'm goin' away just to wear you off my mind
And I may be gone, honey, but I'll be gone a long, long time
[Verse 4]
I asked the brake man to let me ride the blind
Thought I'd ask the brake man to let me ride the blind
The brake man said, "Little girlie, you know this train ain't mine"
[Verse 5]
When a woman gets the blues, she goes to her room and hides
When a woman gets the blues, she goes to her room and hides
But when a man gets the blues he gets the freight train and rides
Written by: Thomas A. Dorsey, Trixie Smith
