Here Comes the Freedom Train

All aboard America! Here comes the Freedom Train

All aboard America! Here comes the Freedom Train

The Freedom Train's a-rollin'

Down two hundred years of track

Two hundred years of glory

Never to turn back

The train is called, "America"

Your ticket is the dream

That lit the torch of freedom

For all the world to see

She left the station in Lexington, In 1776

And rolled to Philadelphia

Where the Liberty Bell was fixed

George Washington, was the engineer

John Adams, shoveled coal

Ben Franklin, punched the tickets

Tom Jefferson, added soul

All aboard America! Here comes the Freedom Train

All aboard America! Here comes the Freedom Train

She rolled to Old New Orleans, for the battle of 1812

With Old Hickory at the throttle

She drove the British out

The Freedom Train's, a fine train

The best the world has seen

Her whistle blows for the liberty

Democracy, is the steam

Wheels forged in sweaty Pittsburgh

Rolled 'cross the Mississipp'

From Texas to Missouri, a new exciting trip

Then bang, the track was broken

Smashed by a cannonball

Blue and gray divided

Will the nation stand or fall?

All aboard America! Here comes the Freedom Train

All aboard America! Here comes the Freedom Train

Then Honest Abe, stepped in the cab

And the wheels began to roll

The Freedom Train, must never stop

The republic never fall

Through the bloody fields, of Gettysburg

The tears shone in his eyes

As he drove the train with fury

And freedom did survive

Once again, the train rolled westward

To California's golden shore

Through the desert, and prairie

Stronger than before

From Atlantic to Pacific

She rolled the rails, with pride

And traveled the tracks to glory

That good old,American kind

All aboard America! Here comes the Freedom Train

All aboard America! Here comes the Freedom Train

There's much more to this story

There's Wilson and Roosevelt

Who passed the torch to Truman

The flame did not go out

Of Dwight D. Eisenhower, and LBJ, we sing

Two brothers, known as Kennedy

And Martin Luther King

Still, the train rolls forward

Over history's rugged trail

Strengthened, by her journey

Her light, will never fail

You and I, will roll along

And stroke the freedom fire

For we stand tall, Americans all

No honor, can be higher

All aboard America! Here comes the Freedom Train

All aboard America! Here comes the Freedom Train
