Freight Train

Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
Please don't tell them which train I'm on
'Cause they'll know just where I've gone

Don't know where I'm headin' for
What I've done is 'gainst the law
Got no future, got no hope
Just nothin' but the road

Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
I wanna hear old number nine
As she goes whistlin' by

Lost my reason, lost my wife
Killed my friend in mortal strife
Now, I must keep a-movin' on
They'll not know where I've gone

Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
Take me back where I was born
So I won't feel forlorn

When I die, just bury me
Way down near old chestnut trees
Poplars at my head and feet
Just say I've gone to sleep
