Here Comes The Freedom Train

[Chorus] All aboard America here comes the freedom train[x2] [Verse 1] The freedom train is rolling down two hundred years of track Two hundred years of glory never to turn back The train is called America your ticket is a dream That left the torture of freedom for all the world to see She left the station in Lexington in 1776 And rode to Philadelphia where the Liberty Bell was fixed George Washington was the engineer John Adams shovelled coal And Franklin punched the tickets Tom Jefferson added soul [Chorus] [Verse 2] She rode to New Orleans the battle of 1812 With old Hickory at the throttle she drove the British out The freedom train's a fine train the toppest of world it seemed Her whistle blows for the liberty with a mighty head of steam Wheels of fortune sweaty Pittsburg rolled across the Mississippi From Texas to Misourri to one real exciting trip Then bang of track was broken smashed by a cannonball That blew in great divided will the nation stand or fall [Chorus] [Verse 3] Will Annistage stepped into the cab and the wheels began to roll Freedom train must never stop Republic never fall To the bloody fields of Gettysburg the tear show in his eyes She drove the train with fury the freedom train survive Again the train rode westward to California shores To the deserts and prairies even stronger than before From Atlantic to Pacific she drove the rail with pride She travelled a track to glory with the good Lord on her side [Chorus] [Verse 4] There's much more to this story like Wilson and Roosevelt They left the train to Truman who stoked it mighty well Then old Dwight D. Eisenhower or LBJ we sing Two brothers known as Kennedy and Martin Luther King And still the train rolls forward over history's rugged trail Straightened by the journey and the land beneath her rail And you and I roll along and stroke the freedom fire For we stand to all Americans hold old honour can't be hired [Chorus]
