Текст (слова) песни: Beastie Boys - Railroad Blues
All aboard, trackseventeen - all aboard Yee-ha
This song is dedicated to all the hardworking pioneers of thiscountry Settin` out discoverin the West Bringing the railroad to where no man has ever been before
Johnny, he worked on the railroad - pounding on iron and steel Working his way out west now - the only sure thing`s his nextmeal America was young, but she was a-growing Layin` tracks across the prairie not knowing where they`re goin` His momma didn`t want him leaving, but now he`s headin` out west She said "Please don`t go" but he said "If I don`tI`ll never rest" It wasn`t always easy, some of the boys died Johnny wrote her letters but he received no replies
Johnny, he worked on the railroad - pounding on iron and steel Working his way out west now - the only sure thing`s his nextmeal
Johnny reached San Francisco tired and broke without a dime Started panning for gold just a-hoping he would find The gold wasn`t a-rushin`, but Johnny kept on minin` Trying to send his momma somethin` with the letters he wassignin` And one day Johnny finally got a reply When he opened Momma`s letter, he began to cry She`s a-writing from her deathbed and this is what she said: "Please don`t be mad at me, son, cause tomorrow I`ll be dead"
Johnny, he worked on the railroad - pounding on iron and steel Working his way out west now - the only sure thing`s his nextmeal
Ah-ha! Ah-ha! Ha!
