"Freight Train" lyrics
"Freight Train"
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
I don't know what train I'm on
Won't you tell me, 'fore I'm gone
Ba da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Lost his reason, lost his life, killed his friend in mortal strength
Must have moved like the rolling skies
Just a-waitin' until he dies
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
When he dies, just bury him please
Way down at the end of Chestnut Street
Pop a stone at his head and feet
And tell them he's gone to sleep
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
I don't know what train I'm on
Won't you tell me, before I'm gone
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
I don't know what train I'm on
Won't you tell me, before I'm gone
Ba da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
I don't know what train I'm on
Won't you tell me, before I'm gone
Ba da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Ba da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Tell me before I'm gone
Ba da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Won't you tell me before I'm gone
Ba da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Won't you tell me before I'm gone
Yeah, Freight train

Mark Knopfler - "Sky And Water" There's only sky and water
As far as we can see
You came in a dream last night
Dear heart, you spoke to me
There's only sky and water
And never so alone
When we cut the captain loose
We cut all ties...
Otis Redding - "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away,...
Buddy Guy - "Blues Don't Lie" Life is gonna happen
Whether you're ready or not
Like a thief in the night
Gonna steal the last cent you got
There's nowhere to hide
And the blues don't lie
Daddy died in 67
Momma died in 68
So I...
Pretenders - "Let The Sun Come In" A bunch of myths, a bunch of tales
To take the wind out of our sails
They even say that we must die
I don't believe that, that's a lie
To live forever, that's the plan
The longest living mortal man...
