Marc Berger - Nobody Gonna Ride on the Railroad lyrics

rate me

Nobody gonna’ ride on the railroad

Went down to Chestertown and they just said goodbye

Nobody gonna’ ride on the railroad

Once proud and shiny, now she’s dusty and dry

CHORUS:

Nobody rides

Can’t you hear that soulful whistlin’ in the wind

Nobody rides

Jumped the rails and roared away round the bend

Nobody rides

Say a prayer for every soul along the line

Nobody rides

On the train that made this great land of mine

Nobody gonna dance to the music

Don’t call the union hall it’s boarded up tight

Nobody gonna’ dance to the music

Nobody gonna’ dance to the music tonight

CHORUS

Hold on dear old dad of mine

Worked his fingers down to the bone

Hold on mama don’t you cry

I’d take you with me, if I knew where to go

(Repeat)

Nobody gonna’ walk on the water

Just sold my Bible for a good piece of bread

Nobody gonna’ walk on the water

Big train stole away and left us for dead

CHORUS

Nobody gonna’ ride on the railroad

Went down to Chestertown and they just said goodbye

Nobody gonna’ ride on the railroad

Once proud and shiny, now she’s dusty and dry
