Actual Delmore Brothers lyrics which are pretty much the same as Doc's who is performing with Merle Travis. [instrumental intro] Chorus:
Blow yo whistle freight train
Take me on down the line
Blow yo whistle [yodel] (len-hee-hee)
Got rambling on my mind. [Instrumental chorus] That old freight train moving along to Nashville
Hold a charm that is a charm for me
Makes me think of good old boomer days gone by
Makes me feel so lonely dont you see. Chorus:
Blow yo whistle freight train
Take me on down the line
Blow yo whistle [yodel] (len-hee-hee)
Got rambling on my mind. [Instrumental chorus] Got a feeling that Ill want to ramble
Still I know that that can never be
Guess Ill have to listen to that old smoke stack
Singing out this lonely song for me. Chorus:
Blow yo whistle freight train
Take me on down the line
Blow yo whistle [yodel] (len-hee-hee)
Got rambling on my mind. [Instrumental chorus] Chorus:
Blow yo whistle freight train
Take me on down the line
Blow yo whistle [yodel] (len-hee-hee)
Got rambling on my mind.
