           Freight Train                                                        (Elizabeth Cotton)
(Chorus)
     C                               G7
-   Freight train,  freight train,  going so fast,
-    G7                             C
-   Freight train,  freight train,  going so fast.
-    E7                   F
-   Please dont tell what train Im on
-    C            G        C
-   So they wont know    where Ive gone.

C                              G7
Freight train, freight train,  coming round the bend,
G7                               C
Freight train, freight train,    gone      again,
E7                             F
One of these days,  turn that train around
    C        G                  C
And go back to -  -   -  o,     my hometown.


(Chorus)

C                   G7
One more place I'd like to be,
G7                  C
One more place I'd love to see,
E7                          F
To watch them Ol Blue Ridge Mountains climb
C      G       C
When I ride Ol Number nine.


(Chorus)

C                G7
When I die Lord, bury me deep
G7                 C
Down at the end of Chestnut Street
E7                   F
Where I can hear Ol Number nine
C      G         C
As she comes on down the line.


(Chorus)
