Train Times Rhymes

This train's bound for glory This train carries a story Time, times, there was a time When travelin 'trains were fine This train don't carry no gamblers This train takes old folk ramblers If we miss the train you're on We'll know that this train's gone We sing disappearin' railroad blues We travel in fading, graying hues Going to Georgia on that midnight train Singing that ole train song refrain People get ready, there's a train a'coming You can hear that ole' number nine a' drumming
Distant moaning of the train seems to play a sad refrain Find me a place in a boxcar So I take my guitar. . .
But keep that long train running keep them big wheels turnin' Where's Casey Jones when you need him? Homeward bound, wish I could go home again Maybe take that Wabash Cannonball We don't need no aereoplane at all We need to stay on track and steady Oh, people. . .People get ready There's a train a'comin' I hear that smokestack drummin'. Where's John Henry, that steel-drivin' man? Must be buried under Hoover dam. Underground Railroad rides again Underground Railroad rides again. Ride me on that good news train Ride me again and again and again. Ole Uncle Tom finally caught that Underground Railroad Ole Jake left his coal mine for that Underground Railroad Ed Clark tossed his necktie off Underground Railroad Underground Railroad Rides Again
