Freight Train

2:56Freight train, freight train goin' so fast Freight train, freight train goin' so fast I don't know what train he's on Won't you tell me where he's gone Don't know where he's headin' for What he's done against the law Got no future, got no home Just nothin' but the rope Freight train, freight train goin' so fast Freight train, freight train goin' so fast I don't know what train he's on Won't you tell me where he's gone He lost his reason, lost his life He killed his friend in mortal strife He must have moved like the rollin' skies Just a-waitin 'til he dies Freight train, freight train goin' so fast Freight train, freight train goin' so fast I don't know what train he's on Won't you tell me where he's gone When he dies, just bury him please Way down the end of old Chestnut Street Poplars at his head and feet And tell them he's gone to sleep Freight train, freight train goin' so fast Freight train, freight train goin' so fast I don't know what train he's on Won't you tell me where he's gone
