Ridin' That Bluegrass Train

Riding to Kentucky on a southbound train

Listen to that banjo driving rhythm through my brain

Just left home this morning, can't say the reason why

I'm going down to Louisville to see my pony ride

To see my pony ride

Now I'm riding that bluegrass train

Riding that bluegrass train

If that train's running right

I'll be there tomorrow night

Riding that bluegrass train

Riding that bluegrass train

Lost all my money on a horse that didn't show

Porter, can I pay my way with this old banjo?

I've got to get to Nashville before the sun is gone

Hit me with another shot while I play my lonesome song

Play my lonesome song

Now I'm riding that bluegrass train

Riding that bluegrass train

Better hold what you got

She won't keep your supper hot

Rolling through the driving rain

Riding that bluegrass train

Stepped on to the platform and heard the church street blues

Someone stole my change boys, just for passing through

Got nothing in this world, except this old guitar

You can have it for a ticket, all the way to Baltimore

All the way to Baltimore

Now we're riding that new grass train

Riding that new grass train

You know right here at the gate

If this cannonball runs late

Keep rolling through the driving rain

Riding that bluegrass train
