Freight Train

Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
They won't know what route I'm gone

When I am dead and in my grave
No more good time here I crave
Place the stones at my head and feet
Tell them all that I'm gone to sleep

Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
They won't know what route I'm gone

When I die, Lord, bury me deep
Way down on ol' Chestnut Street
Then I can hear old number nine
As she come rolling by

Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
They won't know what route I'm gone
