Freight Train (Elizabeth Cotton)
(Chorus)
C G7
- Freight train, freight train, going so fast,
- G7 C
- Freight train, freight train, going so fast.
- E7 F
- Please dont tell what train Im on
- C G C
- So they wont know where Ive gone.

C G7
Freight train, freight train, coming round the bend,
G7 C
Freight train, freight train, gone again,
E7 F
One of these days, turn that train around
C G C
And go back to - - - o, my hometown.


(Chorus)

C G7
One more place I'd like to be,
G7 C
One more place I'd love to see,
E7 F
To watch them Ol Blue Ridge Mountains climb
C G C
When I ride Ol Number nine.


(Chorus)

C G7
When I die Lord, bury me deep
G7 C
Down at the end of Chestnut Street
E7 F
Where I can hear Ol Number nine
C G C
As she comes on down the line.


(Chorus)
