CFreight train, freight train, G7goin' round the bend,

GFreight train, freight train, Ccomin' back again

And go Cback to G7my home Ctown.

To E7watch them old Blue Ridge FMountains climb,

When I Cride old G7Number CNine.

GDown at the end of CChestnut Street

E7Where I can hear old FNumber Nine,

As Cshe comes G7down the Cline.

CFreight train, freight train, G7goin' so fast,

GFreight train, freight train, Cgoin' so fast

E7Please don't tell what Ftrain I'm on,

So they Cwon't know G7where I'm Cgone.
