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
