[Chorus]
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so far
Please, don't tell what train I'm on
So they won't know which way I'm gone

[Verse 1]
Freight train, freight train, comin' round the bend
Freight train, freight train, comin' again
One of these days turn that train around
And go back to my home town

[Chorus]
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so far
Please, don't tell what train I'm on
So they won't know which way I'm gone

[Verse 2]
When I die, please, bury me deep
Down at the end of Bleecker Street
Where I can hear old number nine
As she goеs passing by

[Chorus]
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, frеight train, goin' so far
Please, don't tell what train I'm on
So they won't know which way I'm gone
[Verse 3]
One more place I'd like to be
One more place I'd lie to see
To watch through the window [?]
When I ride old number nine

[Chorus]
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so far
Please, don't tell what train I'm on
So they won't know which way I'm gone

[Outro]
Please, don't tell what train I'm on
So they won't know which way I'm gone
