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
