Freight Train Runs So Slow

Freight Train Runs So Slow-Bill Jackson
Bill Jackson, vocal and twelve-string guitar in C position, standard tuning

INTRO SOLO

Oh, the freight trains runs so slow, my babe,
I can't get back home this-a way
Oh, there must be a wreck on that C & O line
That I can't get back home this (guitar finishes line)

SOLO

Oh, the freight train runs so slow, my babe, that I
Can't get a letter from home
Oh, there must be a wreck on that C & O line, that I
Can't get a letter from (guitar finishes line)

SOLO

My mother told me a long time ago, says,
"Son, never marry a woman you know.
She will cause you to weep and she'll cause you to mourn, and she'll
Cause you to leave your happy home."

Oh, me, oh, oh my, every
Man falls on hard luck sometimes
