[Verse 1:]
Woke up on Monday and I felt bad
Woke up on Tuesday and I felt sad so sad
I miss my mama and I miss my dad
They're the best friends this poor boy ever had

[Chorus:]
That old freight train go go go go go go go gonna carry me home[x2]

[Verse 2:]
Woke up on Wednesday in an old boxcar
Woke up on Thursday think where I are I are
I miss my mama and I miss my dad
They're the best friends this poor boy ever had

[Chorus][x2]

[Verse 3:]
Woke up on Friday a hundred miles away
And I know Saturday I'll be home to stay to stay
Stay with my mama stay with my dad
They're the best friends this poor boy ever had


[Chorus]
