Freight Train, Old Train - Cotton and Rice

lyrics

Freight train, freight train going so fast
Freight train, freight train going so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
So they won't know where I'm gone

Freight train, freight train, going round the bend
Freight train, freight train, gone again
One of these days, turn that train around
Go back to my home town

One more place I'd like to be
One more place I'd love to see
To watch those old Blue Ridge Mountain climb
While I ride old Number Nine

When I die please bury me deep
Down at the end of Chestnut Street
So I can hear old Number Nine
As she goes rolling by

Old train, i can hear your whistle blow
And i won't, be jumping on again.
Old train, i've been everywhere ya go
And i know, what lies beyond each bend.

(chorus)

Old train each time you pass, you're older than the last
And it seems, i'm to old for running.
I hear your rusty wheels scrape against the rail
They cry with every mile, and i think i'll stay awhile.

Old train, i grow weary after miles
And i miss, the freedom that was mine.
Old train, just to think about those times
I'll smile, when your high balling by.

SaltyPaws Punta Gorda, Florida

When you think of wandering minstrels, do you ever think they might live on a boat? SaltyPaws is a sailing acoustic duo, living aboard their catamaran, sailing and singing the Atlantic eastern seaboard. You'll hear guitar and 5 string banjo, spiced with harmonica and concertina. Wherever the boat is in port, you'll find Bentley and Jim joining a jam, at an open mic, or busking a street corner. ... more
