"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
