Am
Well I just came down from Chebawai
F
Had a stationwagon and a hundred dollars
G Am
I was thinking about the girl I lost a year before
And I hadn't seen her for some time
F
And I thought that I might go on by
G
When your memory came flooding in
Am
And you closed that door
[Chorus]
Am
Wish I was a freight train baby
F
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
G
I'd come whistl'in down your track
Am
Crash'in in your door
Am
Wish I was a freight train baby
F
Wish I didn't have a heart
G
And you'd need a shovel for the coal
Am
Just to get me started
Wish I was a freight train baby
E
Wish I was a freight train
Am
Well every time I talk to you
And I hear you jealous lies
F G
I feel like I have been left abandoned
Am
On some old railway siding
And everytime I hear you voice
F
My water just gets cold
G
My stoker will not stoke
Am
And my boiler will not boil
[Chorus]
Am
Wish I was a freight train baby
F
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
G
I'd come whistl'in down your track
Am
Crash'in in your door
Am
Wish I was a freight train baby
F
Wish I didn't have a heart
G
And you'd need a shovel for the coal
Am
Just to get me started
Wish I was a freight train baby
E
Wish I was a freight train
Am
Well everytime I fell behind
F
And I could not get ahead
G
I wish someone would pull the lever
Am
And give me a little sand
And everytime I slip behind
F
Even further back
G
I wish some switchman would
Am
Come out of the fog and change my track
[Chorus]
Am
Wish I was a freight train baby
F
Wish I was a diesel locomotive
G
I'd come whistl'in down your track
Am
Crash'in in your door
Am
Wish I was a freight train baby
F
Wish I didn't have a heart
G
And you'd need a shovel for the coal
Am
Just to get me started
Wish I was a freight train baby
E
Wish I was a freight train
