A handwritten note and lyrics to the song "Freight Train," written on a white sheet of paper in blue ink, dated October 29, 1978. The note reads "Had Mother Maybelle's funeral yesterday and I can't write about that yet, so I'll rewrite an old song." Cash goes on to write the lyrics, in part, "Freight train, freight train / Goin' so fast / Freight train, freight train / Goin' so fast / I don't care what train I'm on / As long as it keeps rollin on / Roll through mountains, let me see / Peaceful valleys under me / Let me make believe that she / Is sharing every mile with me." 13 by 9 inches Categories: Johnny Cash
