Freight Train

Freight Train - Taj Mahal

This country has a great history of railroads

You know, goin' from one place to another

And some of our country's finest citizens lived across the tracks

It was no big thing but the railroad had a lot to do with it

You probably wondering about what I'm talking right now

I'm talkin' about a lady named Elizabeth Cotton

She wrote this song a long time ago when she was a young girl

She's still playin' guitar today and I'm gonna sing a few lines for you

We love you Elizabeth, love you Elizabeth

Freight train, freight train goin' so fast

I don't know what train I'm on

Won't you tell me where I'm goin'?

When I die bury me deep

Down at the end of old Chestnut street

Tell all the people that I've done gone

And where I've gone I just don't know

Freight train, freight train goin' so fast

I don't know what train I'm on

So won't you tell me where I'm goin'?
