Chorus:
------

C              ‘              G7       '
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
G7             '              C        '
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
E             '        F          '
Please don't tell what train I'm on
      C         G         C       '  
They won't know where I'm gone


 
Solo: 16 Bars


Freight train, freight train, coming round the bend,
Freight train, freight train, gone again,
One of these days, turn that train around
And go back to my hometown.

Chorus

When I'm dead and in my grave
No more good times here I crave
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell them all I've gone to sleep

Solo: 16 Bars

One more place I'd like to be,
One more place I'd love to see,
To watch them Old Blue Ridge Mountains climb
When I ride Old Number nine.

Chorus

When I die, oh bury me deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
So I can hear old Number Nine
As she comes rolling by

Instrumental: 16 Bars

Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
They won't know what route I'm going

Chorus
