Freight Train is an American folk song written by Elizabeth Cotten in the early 20th century, and popularized during the American folk revival and British skiffle[1] period of the 1950s and 1960s. By Cotten's own account in the 1985 BBC series Down Home, she composed “Freight Train” as a teenager (sometime between 1906 and 1912), inspired by the sound of the trains rolling in on the tracks near her home in North Carolina. • Cotten was a one-time nanny for folk singer Peggy Seeger, who took this song with her to England, where it became popular in folk music circles. British songwriters Paul James and Fred Williams subsequently misappropriated it as their own composition and copyrighted it. Under their credit, it was then recorded by British skiffle singer Chas McDevitt, who recorded the song in December, 1956. Under advice from his manager (Bill Varley), McDevitt then brought in folk-singer Nancy Whiskey and re-recorded the song with her doing the vocal; the result was a chart hit. McDevitt's version influenced many young skiffle groups of the day, including The Quarrymen. Under the advocacy of the influential Seeger family, the copyright was eventually restored to Cotten.[2][3] Nevertheless, it remains mis-credited in many sources. • Lyrics: • Freight train, freight train, run so fast • Freight train, freight train, run so fast • Please don't tell what train I'm on • They won't know what route I'm going • When I'm dead and in my grave • No more good times here I crave • Place the stones at my head and feet • And tell them all I've gone to sleep • When I die, oh bury me deep • Down at the end of old Chestnut Street • So I can hear old Number Nine • As she comes rolling by • When I die, oh bury me deep • Down at the end of old Chestnut Street • Place the stones at my head and feet • And tell them all I've gone to sleep • Freight train, freight train, run so fast • Freight train, freight train, run so fast • Please don't tell what train I'm on • They won't know what route I'm going • join my mailing list and receive goodies to improve your playing. • https://mailchi.mp/fdca7cd82371/brian... • web site: • https://www.guitarlessonsbybrian.com/... • guitar goodies: • https://www.guitarlessonsbybrian.com/... • facebook: • https://www.facebook.com/ • / guitarlessonsbybrian • #ShortsYouTube • #Shorts
