Freight train
_____________

Elizabeth Cotten (Début 20ème siècle)

Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
So they won't know where I've gone
Please don't tell what train I'm on
So they won't know where I've gone

One more place I'd like to be
One more place I'd love to see
To watch those old Blue Ridge Mountains climb
As I ride ol' Number Nine.
To watch those old Blue Ridge Mountains climb
As I ride ol' Number Nine.

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 that I've gone to sleep
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell them all that 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
So I can hear old Number Nine
As she comes rolling by

Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Freight train, freight train, run so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
So they won't know where I've gone
Please don't tell what train I'm on
So they won't know where I've gone
