Peggy Seeger - Freight Train lyrics
[Peggy Seeger - Freight Train lyrics]
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Please don't tell them what train I’m on
So they won't know what route I have gone
When I die, just bury me deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
So I can hear Old Number Nine
As she goes roaring on by
When I die, just bury me deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
Place a stone at my head and my feet
And tell 'em all I’ve gone to sleep
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Please don't tell them what train I'm on
So they won't know what route I have gone
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Please don't tell them what train I’m on
So they won't know what route I have gone
When I die, just bury me deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
So I can hear Old Number Nine
As she goes roaring on by
When I die, just bury me deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
Place a stone at my head and my feet
And tell 'em all I’ve gone to sleep
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Please don't tell them what train I'm on
So they won't know what route I have gone
