This old train, she a rollin' south 
Chuggin' right along, but you better watch out 
cause the Union and Central pickin' up the pace 
This old train, she a rollin' south 
Chuggin' right along, but you better watch out 
cause the Transcontinental gonna run this old train away 

This old train started haulin' 
nigh around '54 
Wounded souls, hosses, and hope 
climbed aboard 
Firin's stopped, rebuildin's started 
now around '69 
they ain't gon want her 'round no more 

Well now this old train she's a black smoke mama 
Got a fire in her belly 
put up a 
mighty fight 
But they ain't gonna wanna hear this 
short line runnin' lord 
with that lonesome whine 
callin' out all night 

Way out in Promontory Point was a 
heck of a sight 
when the silver hammer drove the golden spike 
Well that old man Crocker he done 
won his bet 
But that poor old train a cryin' a cryin' all night 

Lord cryin' cryin' if I had me a 
longer track 
Could haul em' uphill lord 
forward and back 
Might not be so pretty, but I can 
get the job done 
Gotta find me a trunk line for a longer run. 

Wish I could hook up with that 
Kansas City line 
She runs from way out east lord and she's 
pretty close by 
But that Mo-ssouri River ain't got no bridge 
and they ain't no track over on the other side 
Lord they ain't no track way over on the other side 
Nah sir 

This old train, she's a rollin' south 
Chuggin' right along, but you better watch out 
cause the Central Pacific layin' 10 miles a day 
This old train, she's a rollin' south 
Chuggin' right along, but you better watch out 
cause the Transcontinental gonna run this old train away 
Lord the Transcontinental gonna run this old train away now 
Said the Overland Route gonna take this old train away
