Tuning: Standard


                                 
Freight train Freight train run so fast
                         
Freight train Freight train run so fast
                     *       
Please don't tell what train I'm on
                              
They won't know what route I've gone


                       
When I am dead and in my grave
                
No more good times here I crave
                     *      
Place the stones at my head and feet
                              
Tell them all that I've gone to sleep.


                      
When I die Lord bury me deep
             
Way down on old Chestnut street
                 *     
Then I can hear old Number 9
                   
As she comes rolling by.
