Geocache Description:

Many elder statesmen of the blues hopped on freight trains at the Mississippi Delta, following their calling towards Memphis and Chicago. As they headed north, the click-clack of the train cars inspired many of the early blues songs. Keep The Blues Alive.

FREIGHT TRAIN BLUES

(Begin humming blues riff now)

I) Freight train to nowhere, is the theme of this cache…
Freight train to nowhere, the theme of this cache…
Where there’s no chance, that a train will pass.

II) Follow the path, along the ground…..
Walk along the path along the ground.
When you see tracks, you should look down.

Chorus
It’s the Freight Train Blues!
Yeah, the Freight Train Blues!
When you go cachin’ and there ain’t no clues.

(Screamin’ harmonica solo goes here)

III) Please sign the log, and put the cache back…
Please sign the log, and put the cache back.
If you can’t write, then it ain’t the blues you lack.

Chorus
It’s the Freight Train Blues!
Yeah, the Freight Train Blues!
When you go cachin’…..
When you go cachin’…..
When you go cachin’ (Big guitar finish here)
……….and there ain’t no clues.
