Freight Train
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
I don't know what train he's on
Won't you tell me where he's gone?
He lost his reason, lost his life
He killed his friend in mortal strife
He must keep movin' like the rollin' skies
Just a-waitin' till he dies
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
I don't know what train he's on
Won't you tell me where he's gone?
When he dies, just bury him please
Way down the end of old chestnut street
Poplars at his head and feet
And tell them he's gone to sleep
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast
I don't know what train he's on
Won't you tell me where he's gone?
Train de marchandises
Train de marchandises, train de marchandises, qui file si vite
Train de marchandises, train de marchandises, qui file si vite
Je ne sais pas sur quel train il est
Peux-tu me dire où il est allé ?
Il a perdu la raison, perdu sa vie
Il a tué son ami dans un combat mortel
Il doit continuer à avancer comme les cieux enroulés
Juste en attendant qu'il meure
Train de marchandises, train de marchandises, qui file si vite
Train de marchandises, train de marchandises, qui file si vite
Je ne sais pas sur quel train il est
Peux-tu me dire où il est allé ?
Quand il mourra, enterre-le s'il te plaît
Tout au bout de l'ancienne rue des châtaigniers
Des peupliers à sa tête et à ses pieds
Et dis-leur qu'il s'est endormi
Train de marchandises, train de marchandises, qui file si vite
Train de marchandises, train de marchandises, qui file si vite
Je ne sais pas sur quel train il est
Peux-tu me dire où il est allé ?
