This is an old folk song

Freight Train

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

Freight train, freight train coming down the track, freight train, freight train never looking back.
Please don't tell them what train I'm on, so they won't know where I've gone.

Freight train, freight train coming around the bend, freight train, freight train gone again.
Please don't tell them what train I'm on, so they won't know where I've gone.

One more place I'd like to see, one more place I'd like to be.
Watch those old blue ridge mountains climb, as I ride old No. 9.

When I die please bury me deep, down at the bottom of Chatham street.
So I can hear old No. 9, and she goes rolling bye.
