Lyrics

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
