Lyrics

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Please don't tell them what train I'm on
They won't know what route I've gone
When I'm dead and in my grave
No more good times here I crave
Put those stones at my head and feet
Tell them all that I've gone to sleep
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Please don't tell them what train I'm on
They won't know what route I've gone
When I die, Lord, bury me deep
Over there by Chelsea Street
Then I can hear Old Number Nine
As it comes rollin' down that line
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Please don't tell them what train I'm on
They won't know what route I've gone
Please don't tell them what train I'm on
They won't know what route I've gone
Written by: Elizabeth Cotten, Frederick Williams, Paul James
