The freight train I ride A Bug Song

A quick Bug Song about jumping freight trains....
On my dd special and original shane 4 string reso with some b flat harp

(Hoboing my way back home album... coming soon....)

Freight train I ride

Gona catch that train an ride
right down by the railroad side
gona hobo down to the next town
jumping freight trains n ride
gona get back to my baby by my side
I'm gone free ride the night

gona catch that train and ride
right down by the rail road side
freight cars is what I ride
down to the very next town
got my baby just a waiting for me
the sweetest eyes I ever did see

gona get ma girl and ride
right on though to the other side
I'm gona slide, I'm gona slide

Well im chugging on by
man I sit here an get high
as the tracks roll on by
Its dam cold sitting alone
with my CBG right by my side
Im jamming to the rhytm thats made
by the freight cars rolling by

be home by morning
soon be there
if they dont catch me I'll hide
gona sneak right up to my baby
put ma loving arms around her
gona get some fun allright
gona be with my baby tonight

Comment by BUGGY (C) on February 27, 2013 at 12:58am: Thanks John you can re write then if you like
I need your song writing blog again
Maybe one day I might learn ..
I just slapped down what came into my head
Based on the old Hobos travelling free freight
to find work.
They would often pass a train coming the other
way full of hobos who had just left the town where they were
Heading as there was often no work.
Hard time in those day the only way out was to be good
on a guitar if you ask me...
