There's a freight train riding the railroad
Carrying a load for the shore
You can hear that lonesome whistle blow
You can hear that engine roar
And it's a strange vibration rolling down the track
Oh, Mr. Railroad Man, come on now, carry me back
Railroad Man, Railroad Man
Say, can I ride your train?
I'm on my way to get back home
Railroad Man, Railroad Man
Come on now, ease my pain
I'm on my way to where I belong
Hear that clickety-clack coming closer
Sneaking up around the bend
You can hear that lonesome whistle blow
Like the sound of an old-time friend
I'm on my way to get back home

And it's a strange vibration rolling down the track
Oh, Mr. Railroad Man, come on now, carry me back
Railroad Man, Railroad Man
Say, can I ride your train?
I'm on my way to get back home
You can hear that lonesome whistle blow


Say, can I ride your train?



Railroad Man, Railroad Man
Come on now, ease my pain
Railroad Man, Railroad Man




I'm on my way to where I belong
Railroad Man, Railroad Man
Say, can I ride you train?
I'm on my way
Hey, hey, to get back home

I'm on my way to where I belong
