[Chorus]

Freight train, freight train, run so fast

Freight train, freight train, run so fast

Please don't tell what train I'm on

And they won't know what route I'm going

[Verse 1]

When I am dead and in my grave

No more good times here I crave

Place the stones at my head and feet

And tell 'em all that I've gone to sleep

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

When I die, Lord bury me deep

Way down on old Chestnut Street

Place the stone at my head and feet

And tell 'em all that I've gone to sleep
