[Chorus]
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
I don't care what train I'm on
As long as it keeps rollin' on

[Verse 1]
Don't know where I'm headed for
Makes no difference anymore
Got no future, got no home
Can't do nothin' now but roam

[Chorus]
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
I don't care what train I'm on
As long as it keeps rollin' on

[Verse 2]
When my baby left my side
Something deep inside me died
Got to keep a-movin' on
'Til the memory of her is gone

[Chorus]
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
I don't care what train I'm on
As long as it keeps rollin' on
[Verse 3]
When I die, just bury me, please
Way down at the end of old Chestnut Street
Poplars at my head and feet
And tell her that I've gone to sleep

[Chorus]
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
I don't care what train I'm on
As long as it keeps rollin' on
