Joan Baez - Freight Train Lyrics

Artist: Joan Baez

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Folk

  • Songwriters: J (arr.) Baez, Elizabeth Cotten, Paul James, Fred Williams

Freight train, freight train going so fast
Freight train, freight train going so fast
Please don't say what train I'm on
And they won't know what route I've gone
Please don't tell 'em what train I'm on
They won't know what route I've gone

When I'm dead and in my grave
No more good times shall I pray?
Place a stone at my head and feet
Tell the world that I've gone to sleep
Place a stone at my head and feet
Tell the world that I've gone to sleep

Freight train, freight train going so fast
Freight train, freight train going so fast
Please don't tell 'em what train I'm on
They won't know what route I've gone
