Chorus: Freight train freight train goin' so fast Freight train freight train goin' so fast Please don't tell what train I'm on So they won't know where I've gone.
Freight train, freight train, comin' round the bend Freight train, freight train, gone again One of these days turn that train around Go back to my hometown.
(Chorus)
One more place I'd like to be One more place I'd love to see To watch those old Blue Ridge Mountains climb As I ride ol' Number Nine.
(Chorus)
When I die please bury me deep Down at the end of Bleecker Street So I can hear ol' Number Nine As she goes rollin' by.
