  1. Train to Freedom
    Eric Woolfson

    The railroad bars was makin' lots of money
    Makin' lots of money in the railroad town
    The railroad bars was feelin' kinda funny
    Something kept coming 'round and goin' around
    'Cause if the train don't run there'll be some trouble
    Gonna be some trouble if the train don't run
    And if the train don't come, it'd be a pity
    They'd have to call Baltimore 'Sunset City'
    We're on the train to freedom
    All the way to freedom
    On our way home to freedom
    We might be going nowhere but we won't know 'til we get there
    We're on the train to freedom
    Rollin' on to freedom
    Comin' home to freedom
    We don't know how far to take it but we'll make it or we'll break it
    Someday, someday
    The engineer said gotta keep the wheels turnin'
    Keep the fire burnin' like an engineer should
    The engineer tried to keep the motor runnin'
    Just a steamin' and a shovellin' water and wood
    But if the creek run dry, where'd you get the water?
    If the trees don't grow, where'd you get the wood?
    And if the fish don't bite, how you gonna feed 'em?
    It might be time to move along and that's no good
    We're on the train to freedom
    All the way to freedom
    On our way home to freedom
    We might be going nowhere but we won't know 'til we get there
    We're on the train to freedom
    Rollin' on to freedom
    Comin' home to freedom
    We don't know how far to take it but we'll make it or we'll break it
    Someday, someday
    Good-time Joe was havin' quite a party
    Havin' quite a party with a good-time crowd
    Good-time Joe was drinkin' lots of whiskey
    Lots and lots of whiskey when the news got out
    And then the railroad train stopped runnin'
    The creek run dry and the trees don't grow
    But when the booze ran out, he got a problem
    Well how's he gonna call himself Good-time Joe?
    We're on the train to freedom
    All the way to freedom
    On our way home to freedom
    We might be going nowhere but we won't know 'til we get there
    (Hallelujah)
    We're on the train to freedom
    (Hallelujah)
    Rollin' on to freedom
    (Hallelujah)
    Comin' home to freedom
    We don't know how far to take it but we'll make it or we'll break it
    Someday, someday
    The undertaker said what a happy day this is
    (Hallelujah)
    We'll its really good for business if they whole town's dead!
    We're on the train to freedom
    (Hallelujah)
    All the way to freedom
    (Hallelujah)
    On our way home to freedom
    We might be going nowhere but we won't know 'til we get there
    (Hallelujah)
    We're on the train to freedom
    (Hallelujah)
    Rollin' on to freedom
    (Hallelujah)
    Comin' home to freedom
    We don't know how far to take it but we'll make it or we'll break it
    Someday, someday, someday, someday...
    Hallelujah, someday, hallelujah, someday...
    On the train to freedom!
