Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
I don't care what train I am on
As long as it keeps rolling on

Don't know where I am headed far
Makes no difference anymore
Got no future and I've got no home
Can't do nothing now but roam

Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
I don't care what train I am on
As long as it keeps rolling on

When my baby left my side
Something deep inside me died
Gotta keep movin' on
And my memory of her is gone

Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
I don't care what train I am on
As long as it keeps rolling on

When I die just bury me please
Down at the end of old Chestnut Street
Paupers at my head and feet
And tell her that I've gone to sleep

Freight train, freight train, going so fast
Freight train, freight train, going so fast
I don't care what train I am on
As long as it keeps rolling on

I don't care what train I am on
As long as it keeps rolling on
