Words and music by Elizabeth Cotten
Jim Page: vocal and guitar

lyrics

freight train, freight train, goin’ so fast (x2)
please don’t tell what train I’m on
so they won’t know where I’ve gone

when I die bury me deep
at the end of Chestnut Street
so I can see old Number 9
as she goes rollin’ by

freight train, freight train, goin’ so fast (x2)
please don’t tell what train I’m on
so they won’t know where I’ve gone

when I’m dead and in my grave
no more good times will I crave
just place a stone at my head and feet
tell ‘em all I’ve gone to sleep

freight train, freight train, goin’ so fast (x2)
please don’t tell what train I’m on
so they won’t know where I’ve gone
