"Freight Train" is an American folk song written by #ElizabethCotten in the early 20th century, and popularized during the #AmericanFolkRevival and British #skiffle period of the 1950s and 1960s. By Cotten's own account in the 1985 #BBC series Down Home, she composed "Freight Train" as a teenager (sometime between 1906 and 1912), inspired by the sound of the trains rolling in on the tracks near her home in #NorthCarolina.
