East Bound Freight Train
I never was so lonesome for my hometown
Seems I never was so far away
Now I can hear that freight train a blowin’
I’ll be gone before the break of day.
I’ll have to quit my daily ramblin’
So tonight I’m gonna start my journey back
Sitin’ on the top of an old box car
Sailin’ down that silvery stream of track

East bound freight train, east bound freight train
Take me home again.
East bound freight train, east bound freight train
Let me stay there till the end.


Now I’ll never stray far from my hometown
Never leave again to roam
I know that I’ll look forward to wanderin’
But I’m gonna stick around my home.
Now I can see that smoke a rollin’
Out of that old smoke stack
I’m sittin on the top of an old box car
Sailin’ down that silvery stream of track.
