FREIGHT TRAIN
by Elizabeth Cotten (1900?)

[C]Freight train Freight train [G]run so [G7]fast
[Dm]Freight train [G]Freight train [C]run so fast
[E7]Please don't tell what [F]train I'm on
They won't [C]know what [G]route I've [C]gone
[C]When I am dead and [G]in my [G7]grave
[Dm]No more [G]good times [C]here I crave
[E7]Place the stones at my [F]head and feet
Tell them [C]all that I've [G]gone to [C]sleep.
...
[C]When I die Lord [G]bury me [G7]deep
[Dm]Way down [G]on old [C]Chestnut street
[E7]Then I can hear old [F]Number 9
As [C]she comes [G]rolling [C]by.
