"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 |
