Blue Water Line

The City Council met last night, the vote was four to three
 To tear the home town depot down and build a factory
 To take that stretch of history and tear it off the map
 And to take old engine number nine and turn it into scrap
 Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
 Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
 If you can't afford a quarter
 then you ought to give a dime
 If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line
 Oh I could tell you stories of the glories of that train
 Of the 49'er miners and the time old Jesse James
 Stole a thousand golden nuggets in that great train robbery
 And when old Abe Lincoln rode with Tad upon his knee
 Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
 Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
 If you can't afford a quarter
 then you ought to give a dime
 If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line
 Just twenty thousand quarters and forty thousand dimes
 And we'll ride again to glory on that old Blue Water Line
 We'll have William Jennings Bryant
 stokin' coal on number nine
 So reach into your pockets boys for the old Blue Water Line
 Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
 Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
 If you can't afford a quarter
 then you ought to give a dime
 If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line
 If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line
 Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
 Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line...
