  • Orange Blossom Special
    The Wabash Cannonball
    The Chattanooga Choo-Choo
    This hobo's seen 'em all

    I've watched the Sante Fe
    Lay her smoke against the sky
    And listen to old number three rollin'
    Through the night

    Ride the train, ride the train
    Anywhere I'm going I ride trains
    Sleepin' in a boxcar when it rains
    Ride the train, ride the train

    Southern Pacific
    The Overland Express
    And up ahead the coal cars of West
    Virginia's best

    And Oklahoma's Frisco
    The biggest one of all
    I've listened to the Silver Steed's
    Lonesome midnight call

    Ride the train, ride the train
    Anywhere I'm going I ride trains
    Sleepin' in a boxcar when it rains
    Ride the train, ride the train

    Ride the train
    Trains
