EFreight train, freight train, B7goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, Egoin' so fast
G#Don't you say which Atrain I'm on
And they Ewon't know the B7route I've Egone
When I die, bury me deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
Place a stone at my head and feet
And tell them all I've gone to sleep
Place a stone at my head and feet
And tell them all I've gone to sleep
When I die, bury me deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
So I can hear old number 9
As she goes down the line
So I can hear old number 9
As she goes down the line
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Don't you say which train I'm on
And they won't know the route I've gone
Don't you say which train I'm on
And they won't know the route I've gone
Don't you say which train I'm on
And they won't know the route I've gone
