Freight train freight train goin' so fast freight train freight train goin' so fast
I don't know what train she's on won't you tell me where she's gone
Don't know where she's headin' for what she's done against the law
Got no future got no hope just nothin' but the rope
Freight train freight train...
Lost her reason lost her life killed her friend in a mortal strife
Must have moved like the golden skies just wait until she dies
Freight train freight train...
[ ac.guitar ]
When she dies just bury her please way down near ole chesnut trees
Put flowers at her head and feet and then she's gone to sleep
Freight train freight train...
Won't you tell me where she's gone won't you tell me where she's gone
