Used to be a happy, happy man But not many people I can understand I promise you this and promise you that And when you're in trouble they'll leave you flat
I let the freight train carry me on I let the freight train carry me on I let the freight train carry me on Cause there ain't no trouble when I'm ridin' along
My baby was sweet as she can be Before she came and married me As soon as she got me in the bag She treated like an old dish rag
I let the freight train carry me on I let the freight train carry me on I let the freight train carry me on Cause there ain't no trouble when I'm ridin' along
I had a good pal but he done me wrong He took all my money and my sweetie along I never did thank him call me back But I don't worry while I'm ridin' the train
I let the freight train carry me on I let the freight train carry me on I let the freight train carry me on Cause there ain't no trouble when I'm ridin' along
