[Chorus]
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Please don't tell them what train I'm on
So they won't know what route I have gone

[Verse 1]
When I die just bury me deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
So I can hear Old Number Nine
As she goes roarin' on by

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
When I die just bury me deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
Place the stone on my head and my feet
And tell 'em all I've gone to sleep

[Chorus]
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Pleasе don't tell them what train I'm on
So they won't know what routе I have gone
