version 4
Open or capo to suit
C G7
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast,
G C
freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
E7 F
Please don't tell what train I'm on,
C G7 C
so they won't know where I'm gone.
C G7
Freight train, freight train, goin' round the bend,
G C
freight train, freight train, comin' back again
E7 F
One of these days turn that train around,
C G7 C
and go back to my home town.
C G7
One more place I'd like to be,
G C
one more place I'd like to see
E7 F
To watch them old Blue Ridge Mountains climb,
C G7 C
when I ride old Number Nine.
C G7
When I die Lord, bury me deep,
G C
down at the end of Chestnut Street
E7 F
Where I can hear old Number Nine,
C G7 C
as she comes down the line.
C G7
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast,
G C
freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
E7 F
Please don't tell what train I'm on,
C G7 C
so they won't know where I'm gone.

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
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
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
When I die, oh bury me deep
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell them all I've gone to sleep
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
