Chorus: Big freight train carry me home Big freight train carry me home I been a'waitin' much too long Big freight train carry me home
Well the sawmill closed in Maine I'm out of work again And I'm tired of livin' alone So big freight train carry me home
Chorus:
Well I haven't saved a dime Not a thing to call mine Just wild seeds I've sown So big freight train carry me home
Chorus:
Well there's somethin' callin' me To the hills of Tennessee And in my heart there's a happy song So big freight train carry me home
Chorus x2:
