Freight train, Freight train, goin’ round the bend, |
|
Freight train, Freight train, comin’ back again, |
|
One of these days turn that train around |
|
And go back to my home town. |
|
|
One more place I’d like to be, |
|
One more place I’d lie to see, |
|
To watch them old Blue Ridge Mountains climb, |
|
When I ride old number nine. |
|
|
When I die Lord, Bury me deep, |
|
Down at the end of Chestnut street, |
|
Where I can hear old number nine |
|
As she comes down the line. |
|
|
Freight train, Freight train, goin’ so fast, |
|
Freight train, Freight train, goin’ so fast, |
|
Please don’t tell what train I’m on |
|
So they won’t know where I’m gone. |
