By Elisabeth Cotton

    CHORUS:

        Freight train, freight train going so fast.

        Freight train, freight train going so fast.

        Please don't tell what train I'm on

        So they won't know where I'm gone.

 

            Freight train freight train comming around the bend.

            Freight train, freight train gone again.

            One of these days turn that train around,

            And go back to my home town.

    (CHORUS)

            One more place I'd like to be.

            One more thing I'd love to see.

            To watch those Blue Ridge Mountains climb

            As I ride old Number Nine.

    (CHORUS)

            When I die please bury me deep,

            Down at the end of Chestnut Street

            So I can hear old Number Nine

            As she goes rolling by.

    (CHORUS)
