Freight Train lyrics

Artist  : Taj Mahal 
Song : Freight Train



 Send "Freight Train" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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'?
