Freight Train

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?

Don't know where he's headin' for
What he's done against the law
Got no future, got no hope
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 keep movin' like the rollin' sky
Just a-waitin' till he die

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?
