Ribbons Of The Land (Larry W Jones 01/12/2013) (song#6646) I’ve known valleys, shallow and deep High mountains and hallows they keep Through them all, stone, gravel, and sand There runs the ribbons of the land Through towns all around there is found Ribbons of steel laid on the ground From East to West and down seaboard You still hear the sound of All Aboard Ribbons of the land on their run Chasing the sun til day is done All through the night trains may their way On steel ribbons til light of day Recall a place o’re the Divide A spike driven on prairies wide Two trains met to musical bands And joined two ribbons of the land Ribbons of the land on their run Chasing the sun til day is done All through the night trains may their way On steel ribbons til light of day When light of dawn heats up the rails Train horns drone to greet with their wails My feet will rest just for awhile Then ride the ribbon rails in style Ribbons of the land on their run Chasing the sun til day is done All through the night trains may their way On steel ribbons til light of day Ribbons of the land on their run Chasing the sun til day is done Kingwood Kowboy
