Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
They won't know what route I'm gone

When I'm dead and in my grave
No more good time here I crave
Place the stones at my head and feet
Tell 'em all I've gone to sleep

When I die, Lord, bury me deep
Way down on old Chestnut Street
So I can hear Old Number Nine
As she comes rolling by

When I die, Lord, bury me deep
Way down on old Chestnut Street
Place the stone at my head and feet
Tell 'em all I've gone to sleep

Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
They won't know what route I'm gone

Please don't tell what train I'm on
They won't know what route I'm gone
