Freight Train

歌詞

This country has a great history of railroads You know, goin' from one place to another And some of our country's finest citizens lived across the tracks It was no big thing but the railroad had a lot to do with it You probably wondering about what I'm talking right now I'm talkin' about a lady named Elizabeth Cotton She wrote this song a long time ago when she was a young girl She's still playin' guitar today and I'm gonna sing a few lines for you We love you Elizabeth, love you Elizabeth Freight train, freight train goin' so fast Freight train, freight train goin' so fast I don't know what train I'm on Won't you tell me where I'm goin'? When I die bury me deep Down at the end of old Chestnut street Tell all the people that I've done gone And where I've gone I just don't know Freight train, freight train goin' so fast Freight train, freight train goin' so fast I don't know what train I'm on So won't you tell me where I'm goin'?
