Testo di Railroad Blues

"All Aboard, Track 17, All Aboard'" YEEEHAAW Now this song is dedicated, To all the hard workin' pioneers of this country Setting out discovering the West Bringin' a railroad to where no man has ever been before. Johnny he worked on a railroad A poundin' on iron and steel Workin' his way out West now The only sure things his next meal America was young But she was a growin' Layin' tracks across the prairie Not knowing where they're going His mother didn't wanna' leave him But now he's in the West She said please don't go But he said if I don't I'll never rest It wasn't always easy Some of the boys died Johnny wrote her letters But received no replies Johnny he worked on a railroad A poundin' on iron and steel Workin' his way out West now The only sure things his next meal Johhny reached San Francisco Tired and broke without a dime Started panning for gold Just a hopin' he would find The gold wasn't a rushin' But Johnny kept on minin' Trying to send his mama something With the letters he was signing Then one day Johnny finally got a reply When he opened mama's letter He began to cry She's a writin' from her deathbed And this is what she said Please don't be mad at me son, 'Ccause tomorrow I'll be dead Johnny he worked on a railroad A poundin' on iron and steel Workin' his way out West now The only sure things his next meal
