Freight Train

Lyrics: Carter, Gilbert
Music: Carter, Gilbert

Recorded by Horses, the forerunner of Kingfish.

I took a bus to New York City
Only to find myself on an empty bag
Next stop Shite Town, very pretty
But scenery soon becomes a drag

Southern Comfort, Southern cooking
Southern baby, sure good looking
Freight train
Freight train
Freight train, carry this mail back to New Orleans

Went out in search of [?]
Lord knows I tried to choose to [angle] use
Take me back to Louisiana
Place that a man can hang real loose

Southern Comfort, Southern cooking
Southern baby, sure good looking
Freight train
Freight train
Freight train, carry this male back to New Orleans

Train in the morning
Train in the morning
Train in the morning
Freight train
Freight train
Freight train, carry this male back to New Orleans
Freight train
Freight train
Freight train, carry this male back to New Orleans
Freight train
Freight train
Freight train, carry this male back to New Orleans
