Lyrics:
[Chorus]
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
whistle blows, I've gotta go,
Oh! Lordy! guess I'm never gonna lose,
The mean old freight train blues.
Now my Pappy was a fireman and my Mammy dear,
a 92 year old woman
Who wrote a song, which some of you may know
She plays it, who knows it?
Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
Freight train
a 92 year old woman
Who wrote a song, which some of you may know
She plays it, who knows it?
Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
Freight
some time
Thought I might go on by when your memory came flooding in and you closed that door
Wish I was a freight train, baby
Wish I was a diesel
deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell them all I've gone to sleep
Freight train, freight train
Well I'm longing to ride on a freight train
Put a slouch hat down low on my ears
I'm yearning to leave this old town
On the flight and loose all
at the end of old Chestnut Street
Paupers at my head and feet
And tell her that I've gone to sleep
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Freight
her man
My daddy is a preacher, my mother teaches school
My brother is a doctor and me I'm a fool
The spell of the freight train is stronger than wine
you know
Well, it looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues
Well, my daddy was a fireman and my old ma here
She was the only daughter
I was born in Dixie in a boomer's shack
Just a little old shanty by a railroad track
The hummin' of the drivers was my lullaby
And a freight train
deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell them all I'm gone to sleep
Freight train, freight train
you
We love you Elizabeth, love you Elizabeth
Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
I don't know
I'm longing to ride on a freight train
And pull a slouch hat down low on my ears
I'm yearning to leave this old
Town on the fly
And lose all my
deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell them all I've gone to sleep
Freight train, freight train
Chestnut Street
So I can hear that old number nine
As it rolls on down the line
Freight train, freight train blows oh, oh, hoo
Makes me feel like I
was a mean old train that took my man away from here
I've got the freight train blues, but I'm too darn mean to cry
I've got the freight train
deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell them all I've gone to sleep
Freight train, freight train
a 92 year old woman
Who wrote a song, which some of you may know
She plays it, who knows it?
Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
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
that old number nine
As it rolls on down the line
Freight train, freight train blows ooh, ooh, hoo
Makes me feel like I want to ride some too
Just don't
might be wrong
At least that's what he told me in his song
He rode all the way to Texas
On an old freight train
Didn't miss the girl he left behind
was a mean old train that took my man away from here
I've got the freight train blues, but I'm too darn mean to cry
I've got the freight train
