"Freight Train" is an American folk song written by Elizabeth Cotten (b.1892) in the early 1900s and popularized during the American folk revival period of the 1950s and 1960s - see the Wiki entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freight_Train_(song). There's a wonderful video on YouTube of Elizabeth Cotten herself playing and singing Freight Train: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm5-WdB_aVE.
