Great train, great train, going so fast.
Great train, great train, going so fast.
I don't know what train he's on.
Won't you tell me where he's gone?
Don't know where he's headed for,
what he's done against the law.
Got no future, got no hope,
just nothing but the road.
Great train, great train, going so fast.
Great train, great train,
going so fast.
I don't know what train he's on.
Won't you tell me where he's gone?
He lost his reason,
lost his life.
He killed his friend in mortal strife.
He must keep
moving like the rolling sky.
Just wait until he dies.
Great train, great train, going so fast.
Great
train, great train, going so fast.
I don't know what train he's on.
Won't you tell me where he's gone?
When he died, just bury him, please.
Way down the end of old Chestnut Street.
Poplar's at his head and feet.
And tell him he's gone to sleep.
Great train, great train, going so fast.
Great train, great train,
going so fast.
I don't know what train he's on.
Won't you tell me where he's gone?
