FREIGHT TRAIN

ELIZABETH COTTEN

Lyrics and music:Frederick William Varley, Chas Mc Devitt, Cotten Elizabeth

Key:

Freight train, Freight train, go ing so fast

Freight train, Freight train, g oing so fast

Pl ease don't tell what tr ain I'm on

So they w on't know w here I'm g one

Freight train, Freight train, going round the bend

Freight train, Freight train, comin' back again

One of these days turn that train around

And go back to my home town

One more place I'd like to be

One more place I'd lie to see

To watch them old Blue Ridge Mountains climb

When I ride old number nine

When I die, Lord Bury me deep

Down at the end of Chestnut Street

Where I can hear old number nine

As she comes down the line

Freight train, Freight train, going so fast

Freight train, Freight train, going so fast ...
