Lyrics

[01:44.96] Freight train, freight train, run so fast
[01:50.17] Freight train, freight train, run so fast
[01:55.58] Please don't tell what train I'm on
[02:00.44] They won't know what route I'm going
[02:07.03] When I'm dead and in my grave
[02:11.84] No more good times here I crave
[02:17.19] Place the stones at my head and feet
[02:21.42] And tell them all I've gone to sleep
[02:28.51] Freight train, freight train, run so fast
[02:31.87] Freight train, freight train, run so fast
[02:37.00] Please don't tell what train I'm on
[02:41.70] They won't know what route I'm going
[02:56.88] When I die, oh bury me deep
[03:01.83] We down at the end of old Chestnut Street
[03:06.93] I can hear old Number Nine
[03:11.28] As she comes rolling by
[03:17.01] Freight train, freight train, run so fast
[03:21.15] Freight train, freight train, run so fast
[03:26.68] Please don't tell what train I'm on
[03:30.93] They won't know what route I'm going
[03:40.05] Freight train, freight train, run so fast
[03:45.09] Freight train, freight train, run so fast
[03:50.38] Please don't tell what train I'm on
[03:54.74] They won't know what route I'm going
