[1] Well I had the blues
But now they're gone
I'm on a big black freight train
[4] And I'm movin' [1] on

[1] I'm on a big black train and I'm movin' on
I'm on a [4] big black train and I'll soon be [1] gone
Oh this [5] big black freight train
It keeps movin' [1] on

If you want me baby better get on the track
Got a one-way ticket and I won't be back
Oh this big black freight train
It's movin' down the railroad track

Well you cheated on me baby and you told me lies
You said that you was gonna laugh every time I cried
Oh that big black freight train
We're tellin' you good-bye
