Freight Train

by Preservation Hall Jazz Band

Lyrics
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Please don't tell them what train I'm on
They won't know what route I've gone

When I'm dead and in my grave
No more good times here I crave
Put those stones at my head and feet
Tell them all that I've gone to sleep

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Please don't tell them what train I'm on
They won't know what route I've gone

When I die, Lord, bury me deep
Over there by Chelsea Street
Then I can hear Old Number Nine
As it comes rollin' down that line

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Please don't tell them what train I'm on
They won't know what route I've gone
Please don't tell them what train I'm on
They won't know what route I've gone
