Freight Train

           Freight Train                                                        (Elizabeth Cotton)
(Chorus)
                                    
-   Freight train,  freight train,  going so fast,
-                                 
-   Freight train,  freight train,  going so fast.
-                       
-   Please dont tell what train Im on
-                        
-   So they wont know    where Ive gone.

                              
Freight train, freight train,  coming round the bend,
                               
Freight train, freight train,    gone      again,
                             
One of these days,  turn that train around
                              
And go back to -  -   -  o,     my hometown.


(Chorus)

                   
One more place I d like to be,
                  
One more place I d love to see,
                          
To watch them Ol Blue Ridge Mountains climb
             
When I ride Ol Number nine.


(Chorus)

                
When I die Lord, bury me deep
                 
Down at the end of Chestnut Street
                   
Where I can hear Ol Number nine
               
As she comes on down the line.


(Chorus)
