Freight train freight train running so fast
Freight train freight train running so fast
Please don't tell me which train I'm on
They don't know which way I'm gone
Lay me down to go to sleep
Way down on old chestnut street
So I can hear that number 9
When she rolls on down the line
Freight train freight train running so fast
Freight train freight train running so fast
Please don't tell me which train I'm on
They don't know which way I'm gone
When I ride that big freight train
Through the mountains and the plains
I can hear her whistle blow
Through the rain, the sleet and the snow
Freight train freight train running so fast
Freight train freight train running so fast
Please don't tell me which train I'm on
They don't have to know which way I'm gone
