Freight Train-1957 - Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group, Nancy Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey, Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group

Chorus:

Freight train, freight train, going so fast

Freight train, freight train, going so fast

I don't know what train he's on

Would you tell me where he's gone?

Don't know where he's heading for,

What he's done against the law,

Got no future, got no hope,

Just nothing but the rope

Chorus

He lost his reason, lost his life

He killed his friend in mortal strife

He must have moved

Like the rolling skies

Just a-waiting 'til he dies

Chorus

When he dies, just bury him please

Way down the end of old Chestnut Street

Poplars at his head and feet

And tell them he's gone to sleep

Chorus
