Lyrics

Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
And they won't know what route I'm going
When I am dead and in my grave
No more good times here I crave
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell 'em all that I've gone to sleep
When I die, Lord bury me deep
Way down on old Chestnut Street
So I can hear Old Number Nine
As she comes rolling by
When I die, Lord bury me deep
Way down on old Chestnut Street
Place the stone at my head and feet
And tell 'em all that I've gone to sleep
Written by: Elizabeth Cotten, Frederick Williams, Paul James
