I have travelled
this world by and by
the hills of Missouri
that California sky
but I miss my family
and I miss my Annie
I hop that freight train
it'll take me to old field Kentucky
so take me back to where I'm from
I can't seem to find my woman
oh, take me back to where I need to be
oh, freight train take me to Kentucky
one, bright morning
when the sky was all clear
I hopped that freight train
and ride until I hear
the cry of my mama
from the holler she would call me
I come a-running
and she'd be sitting on the porch
so take me back to where I'm from
I can't seem to find my woman
oh, take me back to where I need to be
oh, freight train take me to Kentucky
oh, take me back to where I'm from
I can't seem to find my woman
oh, take me back to where I need to be
oh, freight train take me to Kentucky
oh, freight train take me to Kentucky
oh, freight train take me to Kentucky
