Freight Train

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
