chanson : Freight Train
Une chanson interprétée par Claude Vollaire, libre de droits pour utilisation en classe.
"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[2] 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.

Freight train
Chorus: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’ve gone.
1. When I’m dead and in my grave,
No more good times here I’ll crave,
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell them all that I’m gone to sleep.
Chorus
2. When I’m dead, Lord, bury me deep,
Way down on old Chestnut Street,
So I can hear old Number Nine
As she comes rolling by.
Chorus
3. When I die, Lord bury me deep,
Way down on old Chestnut Street,
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell them all I’m gone to sleep.
