NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND - This Train Keeps Rolling Along lyrics

rate me

All aboard in Montreal

I heard the conductor call

That old engine heaved a sigh

Suitcases and shuffling feet

I found my way to a windo seat

I love to watch the world go by

Made friends with a family

Bound for Sault Ste Marie

They said good bye at Sudbury Junction

Guess I hated to see 'em go

Thought about 'em as it started to snow

Time stops for nothing or no one

This train keeps rollin along

From here to the great beyond

black somke, pistons churn

steel rails, big wheels turn

This train keeps rolling along

Across the endless plrairie land

Mighty buffalo used to stand

The Cree and the Blackfoot lived and died

??? the Rockies, nestled in the trees,

I fell in love with Lake Louise

smiling with her sparkling emerald eyes

Soon we'll reach the sea

and there I'll stand

With nothing but the blue between me and japan

Now I'm at the end of the line,

Out of track, out of time,

Conductor makes his final round

All the people and places past

They went by just a little too fast

How I wishI could've slowed this engine down.

This train keeps rollin along

From here to the great beyond

black somke, pistons churn

steel rails, big wheels turn

This train keeps rolling along
