Artist: Elizabeth Cotten
Album:  Freight Train and Other
        North Carolina Folk Songs and Tunes
Orig.: A#

  G                           D7
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
                               G
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
 B7                     C
Please don't tell what train I'm on
             G       D7         G
They won't know what route I'm going

  G               D7
When I'm dead and in my grave
                    G
No more good times here I crave
 B7                    C
Place the stones at my head and feet
          G            D7        G
Tell them all that I'm gone to sleep

  G               D7
When I die, Lord, bury me deep
                  G
Way down on old Chestnut Street
 B7                C
So I can hear old Number Nine
    G        D7      G
As she comes rolling by

  G               D7
When I die, Lord, bury me deep
                  G
Way down on old Chestnut Street
 B7                   C
Place the stone at my head and feet
              G            D7        G
And tell them all that I'm gone to sleep
