Freight train, freight train, goin so fast
|
Freight train, freight train, goin so fast
|
I don't know what train he's on
|
Won't you tell me where he's gone
|
|
Don't know where he's headin for
|
What he's done against the law
|
Got no future, got no hope
|
Just nothin but the rope
|
|
Freight train, freight train, goin so fast
|
Freight train, freight train, goin so fast
|
I don't know what train he's on
|
Won't you tell me where he's gone
|
|
He lost his reason, lost his life
|
He killed his friend in mortal strife
|
He must have moved like the golden skies
|
Just a-waitin til he dies
|
|
Freight train, freight train, goin so fast
|
Freight train, freight train, goin so fast
|
I don't know what train he's on
|
Won't you tell me where he's gone
|
|
When he dies, just bury him please
|
Way down the end of old Chestnut Street
|
Poplars at his head and feet
|
And tell them he's gone to sleep
|
|
Freight train, freight train, goin so fast
|
Freight train, freight train, goin so fast
|
I don't know what train he's on
|
Won't you tell me where he's gone
|
