Freight Train - Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee

Hey, to hear that old train blow

Makes me feel like I want to ride some too

Just don’t tell 'em what train I’m on

And they won’t know what route I’ve gone

I asked the brakeman to let me ride the blinds

He says, 'I don’t care Brownie this train ain’t mine'

Just don’t tell 'em what train I’m on

And they won’t know what route I’m gone

Freight train, freight train going so fast

Freight train, freight train going so fast

Just don’t tell 'em what train I’m on

They won’t know what route I’ve gone

Was a mean old farmer and a cruel old engineer

Low down conductor wave that train from here

Just don’t tell 'em what train we’re on

They won’t know what route I’m gone

There’s a long gold rail and a short crossed town

Ride the roach till the day I die

Just don’t tell 'em what train I’m on

And they won’t know what route I’ve gone

When I die don’t bury me deep

Just at the foot of old Chestnut Street

So I can hear that old number nine

As it rolls on down the line

Freight train, freight train blows ooh, ooh, hoo

Makes me feel like I want to ride some too

Just don’t tell 'em what train I’m on

And they won’t know what route I’m gone

Just don’t tell 'em what train I’m on

And they won’t know what route I’m gone

Just don’t tell 'em what train we’re on

And they won’t know what route we gone

Just don’t tell 'em what train we’re on

And they won’t know what route we gone
