Lyrics

[Chorus]
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
I don't know what train he's on
Won't you tell me where he's gone?
[Verse 1]
Don't know where he's headin' for
What he's done against the law
Got no future, got no hope
Just nothin' but the rope
[Chorus]
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
I don't know what train he's on
Won't you tell me where he's gone?
[Verse 2]
He lost his reason, lost his life
He killed his friend in mortal strife
He must keep movin' like the rollin' skies
Just a-waitin' till he dies
[Chorus]
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
I don't know what train he's on
Won't you tell me where he's gone?
[Verse 3]
When he dies, just bury him please
Way down the end of old Chestnut Street
Poplars at his head and feet
And tell them he's gone to sleep
[Chorus]
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
I don't know what train he's on
Won't you tell me where he's gone?
