This Train Keeps Rolling Along

This Train Keeps Rolling Along - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

All aboard in Montreal

I heard the conductor call

That old engine heaved a sigh

Suitcases and shuffling feet

I found my way to a window seat

I love to watch the world go by

Made friends with a family

Bound for sault Ste Marie

They said good bye at sudbury junction

Guess I hated to see 'em go

Thought about 'em as it started to snow

Time stops for nothing or no one

This train keeps rollin' along

From here to the great beyond

Black smoke pistons churn

Steel rails big wheels turn

This train keeps rolling along

Across the endless prairie land

Mighty buffalo used to stand

The Cree and the Blackfoot lived and died

The Rockies nestled in the trees

I fell in love with lake Louise

Smiling with her sparkling emerald eyes

This train keeps rollin' along

From here to the great beyond

Black smoke pistons churn

Steel rails big wheels turn

This train keeps rolling along

Soon we'll reach the sea

And there I'll stand

With nothing but the blue between me and japan

Now I'm at the end of the line

Out of track out of time

Conductor makes his final round

All the people and places past

They went by just a little too fast

How I wish I could've slowed this engine down

This train keeps rollin' along

From here to the great beyond

Black smoke pistons churn

Steel rails big wheels turn

This train keeps rolling along

This train keeps rolling along

This train keeps rolling along

Keeps rolling rolling along

Keeps rolling
