Peter, Paul and Mary Freight Train Lyrics

Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
They won't know what route I'm going.

When I'm dead and in my grave
No more good times here I crave
Place the stones at my head and feet;
And tell them all I've gone to sleep.

When I die, oh bury me deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
So I can hear old Number Nine
As, she comes, rolling by.

When I die, oh bury me deep
Down at the end of old ChestnutChorus:
Freight train freight train goin' so fast
Freight train freight train goin' so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
So they won't know where I've gone.

Freight train, freight train, comin' round the bend
Freight train, freight train, gone again
One of these days turn that train around
Go back to my hometown.

(chorus)

One more place I'd like to be
One more place I'd love to see
To watch those old blue ridge mountains climb
As I ride ol' number nine.

(chorus)

When I die please bury me deep
Down at the end of bleecker street
So I can hear ol' number nine
As she goes rollin' by.

(chorus)

Street
Face the stones at my head and feet
And tell them all I've gone to sleep.

Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
They won't know what route I'm going.
