This Train Keeps Rolling Along

All aboard in Montreal

I heard the conductor call

And that old engine heaved a sigh

Suitcases and shufflin' feet

Found my way to a window seat

I loved to watch the world go by

Made friends with a family

Bound for Sault Ste. Marie

They said goodbye at Sudbury junction

I guess I hated to see 'em go

Thought about 'em as it started to snow

But time stops for nothin' or no one

This train keeps rollin' along

From here to the great beyond

Black smoke and pistons churn

Steel rails and the big wheel turns

This train keeps rollin' along

Across the endless prairie land

A mighty buffalo used to stand

The Cree and the Blackfoot lived and died

Up the Rockies nestled in the trees

I fell in love with Lake Louise

Smilin' with her sparklin' emerald eyes

This train keeps rollin' along

From here to the great beyond

Black smoke and pistons churn

Steel rails and the big wheel turns

This train keeps rollin' along

Soon we'll reach the sea and there I'll stand

With nothin' but the blue between me and Japan

Now I'm at the end of the line

Out of track and out of time

Conductor makes his final round

And all the people and places passed

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 and pistons churn

Steel rails and the big wheel turns

This train keeps rollin' along

This train keeps rollin' along

This train keeps rollin' along

It keeps on rollin'

Rollin' along

It keeps on rollin'
