Freight Train Blues Lyrics


Show me when to cut his throat boys, man 'cause I'm Gonna Kill Him Dead
He hadn't been a Hobo
I wouldn't done nothin' with him
Well I first started hobo'in, bo'in, bo'in...
I take a freight train to be my friend
Oh Lord
My little baby
I wonder why she do it
My baby she followed me
She followed me one mornin', one mornin'
Down to the train oh Lord
Oh if I don't see you, see ya tomorrow, tomorrow
You will be my end, oh Lord
Yes!
I was standin' at the station
When that big train turned around the bend
My baby leavin' on that train

I said I may not see you in God knows when
Then I had to holler
My baby's gone
My baby's gone
My baby's gone
To ne're return no more
Oh Lord
Oh Lord that sweet little woman
That I had
Oh man in my life before
Say it just a minute and just get it out a minute...

Sam Hopkins was born on March 15, 1912 in Centerville, Texas. In 1920, at the age of eight, Hopkins met and played with the legendary Blind Lemon Jefferson, even becoming Jefferson's guide for a short time. Hopkins' cousin, the great bluesman, Texas Alexander, was another influence. Their musical partnership was broken up by Hopkins' time in Houston's County Prison Farm during the 1930s. When Hopkins made his way to Houston's Third Ward in 1946 he was introduced to Lola Anne Cullum, a talent scout who had pieced together deals with companies such as Aladdin Records out of Los Angeles.
