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 have moved like the golden skies 
Just a-waitin til he dies 

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
