Freight train, freight train run so fast
Freight train, freight train run 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'll crave
Place the stones at my head and feet
Tell them all I've gone to sleep
When I die lord, bury me deep
Way down on old Chestnut Street
So I can hear old Number 9
As she comes rolling by
When I die lord, bury me deep
Way down on old Chestnut Street
Place the stones at my head and feet
Tell them all I've gone to sleep
Freight train, freight train run so fast
Freight train, freight train run 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
