Elizabeth Cotten - Freight Train lyrics

rate me

Freight train, Freight train, run so fast(<br />

Freight train, Freight train, run so fast((<br />

Please don't tell what train I'm on(<br />

They won't know what route I've gone ((<br />

<br />

When I am dead and in my grave (<br />

No more good times here I crave(<br />

Place the stones at my head and feet(<br />

Tell them all that I've gone to sleep.((<br />

<br />

When I die, Lord, bury me deep(<br />

Way down on old Chestnut street(<br />

Then I can hear old Number 9(<br />

As she comes rolling by.
