| One of these days turn that train around |
| And go back to my home town. |
| One more place I'd like to be, |
| One more place I'd lie to see, |
| To watch them old Blue Ridge Mountains climb, |
| When I ride old number nine. |
| When I die Lord, Bury me deep, |
| Down at the end of Chestnut street, |
| Where I can hear old number nine |
| As she comes down the line. |
| Freight train, Freight train, goin' so fast, |
| Freight train, Freight train, goin' so fast, |
| Please don't tell what train I'm on |
| So they won't know where I'm gone. |
