Laura Veirs: "Freight Train"

freight train, freight train, run so fast
please don't tell whst 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 here i crave
place the stones at my head and feet
tell them all i've gone to sleep
when i die, lord, bury me deep
way down on old Chestnut Street
then i can hear old Number 9
as she comes rolling by
