<b>Freight Train</b> by <i>Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group</i><br />

[CHORUS]

Freight train, freight train

Going so fast

Freight train, freight train

Going so fast

I don't know what train he's on

Won't you tell me where he's gone

Don't know where he's heading for

What he's done against the law

Got no future, got no hope

Just nothing but the rope

[Repeat CHORUS]

He lost his reason, lost his life

He killed his friend in mortal strife

He must have moved

Like the rolling skies

Just a-waiting 'til he dies

[Repeat CHORUS]

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

[Repeat CHORUS]
