Rusty draper freight train lyrics

Freight train, freight train, goin so fast 

 Freight train, freight train, goin so fast 

 I don't know what train he's on 

 Won't you tell me where he's gone 

  

 Don't know where he's headin for 

 What he's done against the law 

 Got no future, got no hope 

 Just nothin but the rope 

  

 Freight train, freight train, goin so fast 

 Freight train, freight train, goin so fast 

 I don't know what train he's on 

 Won't you tell me where he's gone 

  

 He lost his reason, lost his life 

 He killed his friend in mortal strife 

 He must have moved like the golden skies 

 Just a-waitin til he dies 

  

 Freight train, freight train, goin so fast 

 Freight train, freight train, goin so fast 

 I don't know what train he's on 

 Won't you tell me where he's gone 

  

 When he dies, just bury him please 

 Way down the end of old Chestnut Street 

 Poplars at his head and feet 

 And tell them he's gone to sleep 

  

 Freight train, freight train, goin so fast 

 Freight train, freight train, goin so fast 

 I don't know what train he's on 

 Won't you tell me where he's gone
