Review

November, 24th 2017

It’s a folk song interspersed with love to trains. Particularly, David Grisman and Jerry Garcia do the light song in which they reveal their love to trains, particularly tying it with anticipation of death and the wreck of old Number Nine – one of the most famous old-days wrecking of the trains (more singers sang about it in their days). It is from the subgenre of wrecking trains (it’s a small culture about it in the West). The singers tell that when they die, please bury ‘em under the old chestnut tree, place stones on their heads & feet so they never raise up again & tell their pursuers they’re dead. Reference: Read about 'Not for Kids Only', album by David Grisman and Jerry Garcia containing this song

Freight Train Song 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'm going

When I'm dead and in my grave

No more good times here I crave

Place the stones at my head and feet

And tell them all I'm gone to sleep

When I die, oh bury me deep

Down at the end of old Chestnut Street

So I can hear old Number Nine

As she comes rolling by

When I die, oh bury me deep

Down at the end of old Chestnut Street

Place the stones at my head and feet

And tell them all I'm gone to sleep

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'm going
