Lyrics

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast

Please don't tell what train I'm on

So they won't know where I've gone

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast

Please don't tell what train I'm on

So they won't know where I've gone

Freight train, freight train, comin' 'round the bend

Freight train, freight train, gone again

Gonna turn that train around

Headin' back to my hometown

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast

Please don't tell what train I'm on

So they won't know where I've gone

One more place I'd like to see

One more place I'd like to be

Watch those old Blue Ridge Mountains climb

As I ride Old Number 9

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast

Please don't tell what train I'm on

So they won't know where I've gone

When I die, please bury me deep

Down at the end of Wicker Street

So I could hear Old Number 9

As she comes rollin' by

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast

Please don't tell what train I'm on

So they won't know where I've gone

(Let me hear you)

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast

Please don't tell what train I'm on

So they won't know where I've gone
