In memoriam of the wonderful Lisa Null, I adapted a simple American song that felt appropriate. I call it Lisa's Freight Train. Lisa's Freight Train to the tune of Freight Train by Elizabeth Cotten new words ©Vikki Appleton Fielden, July 2022 Freight train, freight train, run so fast Freight train, freight train, run so fast While that old train speeds along Let us sing my joyful song Sing and dream from dusk to dawn Charlie helps me carry on Now I'm dead my songs live on And my pain is finally gone Freight train, freight train, run so fast Freight train, freight train, run so fast While that old train speeds along Let us sing my joyful song While I lived I sang my songs Sang them loud and sang them strong Asked the world to sing along Share my song when I am gone Freight train, freight train, run so fast Freight train, freight train, run so fast While that old train speeds along We will sing my final song While that old train speeds along Let us sing my joyful song
