Lyrics:
bend
The giant drivers roll
Roll on, southern pacific
On your silver rails
Through the moonlight
Roll on, southern pacific
On your silver rails
Leaning on the old top rail in a big corral
Looking down the twilight trail for my long lost pal
How he sang when he sprang on his old mustang
Silver rails shining ahead through the night one on the left and one on the right
Ribbons of steel leading me on silver rails silver rails carry me
Like a rocket on rails
Like a rocket on rails
Like a rocket on rails
Like a rocket on rails
too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy
a railroad ticket too
To take me to her lovin' arms
And the big steel rail
Gonna carry me home to the one I love
Well, I been out here many a long days
to love
And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails
She's a railroad lady
Just a little bit shady
Spending her days on a train
She's the semi good looker
But the fast rails they took her
Now
Go to sleep, you weary hobo
Watch the towns go drifting by
Can't you hear the rails a-singin'?
That's the hobo's lullaby
Don't you worry about
bangin' my head
I'm free as the breeze and I go when I please
Silver rails keep me free silver rails keep me free
When I find a place I don't like when I
o to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rail humming
That's a hobo's lullaby
Do not think about
Hurry, get on, now it`s coming
Listen to those rails a-thrumming
All aboard, get on the "A" train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem
of the rail comes into view
Hear that lonesome whistle callin'
On his lonely ear is fallin'
Loud and clear, just hear that lonesome wail
But it's just
[Chorus:]
Go to sleep, you weary hobo. Watch the towns go drifting by. Can't you hear the rails a-singin'? That's the hobo's lullaby.
Don't you
Go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rail humming
That's a hobo's lullaby
Do not think about tomorrow
Hurry, get on, now it`s coming
Listen to those rails a-thrumming
All aboard, get on the "A" train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem
you've found it, it's gone
Now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rails
So don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen
Ooh,
You were born in a trunk
Everyone talkin' about you
You were born in a trunk
Where would they be without you
You better move off the rails
you've found it, it's gone
Now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rails
So don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen
Ooh,
Go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Listen to the steel rails hummin'
That's the hobo's lullaby
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Do not
you can exit on the left on the rail
Take your time and slowly, but quickly, get out
Here she comes look at her roll there she goes eatin' that coal
Watch her fly huggin' the rails let her by by by it's the fireball mail
Let her go
Go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Listen to the steel rails hummin'
That's the hobo's lullaby
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Do
