That old freight train movin' along to Nashville
Holds a charm that is a charm for me
Makes me think of good old Gomer days gone by
Makes me feel so lonely, don't you see?
Oh, your whistle, freight train, take me on down the line
Oh, your whistle, baby, I'm ramblin' on my mind
Lovin' you has made me quit my ramblin'
Yes, your sweet love has satisfied my mind
But honey, I can't help it if I get to walkin' blue
When I hear a freight train rumblin' down the line
Oh, your whistle, freight train, take me on down the line
Oh, your whistle, baby, I'm ramblin' on my mind
Get the feelin' that I want to ramble
But I know that that can never be
I guess I'll have to listen to that old smokestack
Sing it out, it's a lonely song for me
Oh, your whistle, freight train, take me on down the line
Oh, your whistle, baby, I'm ramblin' on my mind
Oh, your whistle, baby, I'm ramblin' on my mind
