Freight Train - fingerstyle guitar solo

http://nylonguitarist.com
This classic piece of fingerpicking was written by Elizabeth Cotten around 1907. While I was recording this video I realized how totally irrelevant the words are to my life. It's all well and good for Peter, Paul and Mary but I felt pretty silly singing these lyrics. With each verse that I sang I was starting to go "round the bend". I think I'll shut my mouth in future and just play the damn thing.
