[Chorus: Jerry Garcia]
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

[Verse 1: Jerry Garcia]
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've gone to sleep

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2: Jerry Garcia]
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

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3: Jerry Garcia]
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've gone to sleep
[Instrumental]

[Chorus: Jerry Garcia]
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
