[Chorus]
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
And they won't know what route I'm going

[Verse 1]
When I am dead and in my grave
No more good times here I crave
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell 'em all that I've gone to sleep

[Verse 2]
When I die, Lord bury me deep
Way down on old Chestnut Street
So I can hear Old Number Nine
As she comes rolling by

[Verse 3]
When I die, Lord bury me deep
Way down on old Chestnut Street
Place the stone at my head and feet
And tell 'em all that I've gone to sleep
