| Yonder Comes A Freight Train (Ray Pennington) Tree Publishing Company, BMI Hopped a freight train out of Nashville, rode it up to Ohio Thumbed my way to Detroit City where I stayed a month or so Caught a ride to Chicago with a truck driving Man I stayed there for the summer singing with a country band Every time I hear a freight train's lonesome whistle blow I think about that good many I've got waiting on me at home Yonder comes a freight train, moving on down the line Yonder comes a freight train, listen to that engine whine Getting on that old train, going back to that good good man of mine Hopped a freight out of chicago, thought that it was southern bound Ended up in New York City where they travel underground Stole a ride on a fruit truck, went through Charlotte to LA Got a ride back to Atlanta, liked that town but couldn't stay Rode with a couple to Chattanooga going to see Ruby Falls 130 miles from Nashville well I'll get back if I have to crawl Yonder comes a freight train, moving on down the line Yonder comes a freight train, listen to that engine whine Getting on that old train, going back to that good good man of mine Yonder comes a freight train moving on down the line Yonder comes a freight train, listen to that engine whine I’m getting on that old train, I’m going back to that good, good man of mine |
