Lyrics

Freight Train

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast

I don't know what train I'm on

Won't you tell me, 'fore I'm gone

Ba da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da

Lost his reason, lost his life, killed his friend in mortal strength

Must have moved like the rolling skies

Just a-waitin' until he dies

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da

When he dies, just bury him please

Way down at the end of Chestnut Street

Pop a stone at his head and feet

And tell them he's gone to sleep

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast

I don't know what train I'm on

Won't you tell me, before I'm gone

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast

I don't know what train I'm on

Won't you tell me, before I'm gone

Ba da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast

Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast

I don't know what train I'm on

Won't you tell me, before I'm gone

Ba da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da

Ba da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da

Tell me before I'm gone

Ba da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da

Won't you tell me before I'm gone

Ba da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da

Won't you tell me before I'm gone

Yeah, Freight train
