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 ...
