What Are The Lyrics For Railroad Blues By Beastie Boys?
All aboard, track seventeen, all aboard
Yeehaw This song is dedicated to all the hardworking pioneers of this country Settin' out discoverin' the West Bringing the railroad to where no man has ever been before Johnny - he worked on the railroad, pounding on iron and steel Working his way out west now, the only sure thing's his next meal America was young, but she was a-growing Layin' tracks across the prairie, not knowing where they're goin' His mama didn't want him leaving, but now he's headin' out 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 he received no replies Johnny - he worked on the railroad, pounding on iron and steel Working his way out west now, the only sure thing's his next meal Johnny reached San Francisco tired and broke without a dime Started panning for gold just a-hoping he would find The gold wasn't a-rushin', but Johnny kept on minin' Trying to send his mama somethin' with the letters he was signin' And one day Johnny finally got a reply When he opened Mama's letter, he began to cry She's a-writing from her deathbed, and this is what she said: "Please, don't be mad at me, son, 'cause tomorrow I'll be dead." Johnny - he worked on the railroad, pounding on iron and steel Working his way out west now, the only sure thing's his next meal Ah-ha! Ah-ha! Ha! |
