Lyrics: Traditional?
Music: Traditional?
Recorded by Pigpen for a never released solo album.
When your friends happen to go down
When your friends happen to die
What can you say about that freight train?
You got that freight train Up in the sky
You know my mother had to die
And my father sit right down and cry
What about that freight train?
What about that freight train?
What about that old freight train?
Up in the sky
Where's it going?
It's going home
It's going home
It's going home
It's going home
It's going home
It's going home
Somewhere in the sky
