Original lyrics
Freight train, Freight train, run so fast(
Freight train, Freight train, run so fast((
Please don't tell what train I'm on(
They won't know what route I've gone ((
When I am dead and in my grave (
No more good times here I crave(
Place the stones at my head and feet(
Tell them all that 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.
Freight train, Freight train, run so fast((
Please don't tell what train I'm on(
They won't know what route I've gone ((
When I am dead and in my grave (
No more good times here I crave(
Place the stones at my head and feet(
Tell them all that 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.
Translation
Tren de carga, Tren de carga, correr tan rápido (
Tren de carga, Tren de carga, correr tan rápido ((
Por favor, no le digas lo que estoy en tren (
Ellos no saben qué camino he ido ((
Cuando estoy muerto y en la tumba (
No hay tiempos más buenos aquí me antoja (
Coloque las piedras en la cabeza y los pies (
Dile todo lo que yo he ido a dormir. ((
Cuando yo muera, Señor, que me entierren profundo (
Camino abajo en la vieja calle Chestnut (
Entonces puedo escuchar Número antiguo 9 (
Como viene rodando por.
