The Orange Blossom Special the Wabash Cannonball
the Chatanooga choo choo this hobo's seen 'em all
I've watched the Santa Fe lay her smoke against the sky
and listened to old number three rollin' through the night
CHORUS: Ride the train ride the train anywhere I'm goin'
I ride train sleepin' in a box car when it rains
ride the train ride the train
The Southern Pacific the Overland Express
and up ahead, the coal car with West Virginia's best
and Oklahoma's Frisco the biggest one of all
I've listened to the silver steeds lonesome midnight call
REPEAT CHORUS
END: Tra---in
