[Gm]
I just came down from Chippewa, [Eb] had a station wagon and a hundred [F] dollars, thinking about the girl I'd [Gm] lost a year before.
I hadn't seen her for some time, [Eb] thought I might go on by, when [F] your memory came flooding in [Gm] and you closed that door.
Wish I was a freight train, baby, wish [Eb] I was a diesel locomotive, [F] I'd come a-whistling down your track, [Gm] crashing in your door.
Wish I was a freight train, baby, wish [Eb] I didn't have a heart, you [F] need a shovel for the coal, [Gm] just to get me started.
Wish I was a freight train, baby, [Eb] wish I was a freight train, baby, wish [F] I was a freight train.
[Gm]
[Gm] Well, every time I talk to you, [Eb] I hear your jealous lies, [F] I feel like I've been left [Gm] abandoned on some old railway side.
And every time I hear your [Eb] voice, my water just gets cold, [F] my stoker will not stoke, [Dm] and my border will not boil.
Wish [Gm] I was a freight train, baby, wish [Eb] I was a diesel locomotive, [F] I'd come a-whistling down your track, [Gm] crashing in your door.
Wish I was a freight train, baby, wish [Eb] I didn't have a heart, you [F] need a shovel for the coal, [Gm] just to get me started.
Wish I was a freight train, baby, [Eb] wish I was a freight train, baby, wish [F] I was a freight train.

Well, every time I fell [Eb] behind, I could not get ahead, [F] I wish someone would pull the [Gm] lever and give me a little sand.
And every time I slip [Eb] behind, even further back, [F] I wish some switchman would come [Gm] out of the fog and change my track.
Wish I was a freight train, baby, [Eb] wish I was a diesel locomotive, [F] I'd come a-whistling down your track, [Gm] crashing in your door.
Wish I was a freight train, baby, [Eb] wish I didn't have a heart, you [F] need a shovel for the coal, [Gm] just to get me started.
