Freight Train |
| Well I just came down from Chippewa |
| I had a station wagon and a hundred dollars |
| I was thinkin' about the girl I’d lost a year before |
| I hadn’t seen her for some time |
| I thought that I might go on by |
| When your memory came floodin' in And you closed that door |
| Wish I was a freight train baby |
| Wish I was a diesel locomotive |
| I’d come whistlin' down your track |
| Crashin' in your door |
| Wish I was a freight train baby |
| Wish I didn’t have a heart |
| And you’d need a shovel for the coal |
| Just to get me started |
| Wish I was a freight train baby |
| Wish I was a freight train |
| Well every time I talk to you |
| And I hear your jealous lies |
| I feel like I’ve been left abandoned |
| On some old railway side |
| And every time I hear your voice |
| My water just gets cold |
| My stoker will not stoke |
| And my boiler will not boil |
| Wish I was a freight train baby |
| Wish I was a diesel locomotive |
| I’d come whistlin' down your track |
| Crashin' in your door |
| Wish I was a freight train baby |
| Wish I didn’t have a heart |
| And you’d need a shovel for the coal |
| Just to get me started |
| Wish I was a freight train baby |
| Wish I was a freight train |
| Well every time I fell behind |
| And I could not get ahead |
| I wish someone would pull the lever |
| And give me a little sand |
| And every time I slip behind |
| Even further back |
| I wish some switchman would come out of the fog |
| And change my track |
| Wish I was a freight train baby |
| Wish I was a diesel locomotive |
| I’d come whistlin' down your track |
| Crashin' in your door |
| Wish I was a freight train baby |
| Wish I didn’t have a heart |
| And you’d need a shovel for the coal |
| Just to get me started |
| Wish I was a freight train baby |
| Wish I was a freight train. |
