Living in the Country

Pete专辑

  • (Traditional)
    You know the guitar came to Europe with the gypsies 700 years ago
    Spain brought the guitar to Mexico 400 years ago
    U.S.A. picked a quarrel with Mexico and got Texas and California
    And it also got the guitar and the guitar got us
    It was Afro American people in the south
    That worked out this way of playing it though
    You know in Europe they usually play a guitar
    But the Afro American peple worked out a way to play it
    Just like a drum band
    The base strings were played by a thumb with a steady beat
    And the top strings were played
    With the finger and got all the little off beats
    Up in Syracuse there's a 92 year old woman
    Who wrote a song, which some of you may know
    She plays it, who knows it?
    Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
    Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
    Please don't tell them which train I'm on
    So they won't know which route I've gone
    When I die just bury me deep
    Down at the foot of old Chestnut Street
    So I can hear old number nine
    As she goes roaring by
    Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
    Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
    Please don't tell them which train I'm on
    So they won't know which route I've gone
    When I'm dead and in my grave
    No more good times do I crave
    Place the tombstone at my head and my feet
    Tell my friends that I've gone to sleep
    Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
    Freight train, freight train goin' so fast
    Please don't tell them which train I'm on
    So they won't know which route I've gone
