Thread Name: Railroad Song Buffs--Check Here Please
Subject: RE: RAILROAD SONG BUFFS--Check Here Please
wOW! This thread is amazing. I recall a song my late brother and I sang a million times: Johnny Cash's One more ride. {"Oh the clickety-clack of the railway track is callin'" "If a man coould know where the Santa Fe goes when she gets under steam..." -- I could post the lyrix if anyone wants) And that made me remember [faintly] a tune from the '50s "Smoke along the track" with cool steel guitar licks emulating the doppellering whistle ... AND the very first LP record I ever bought, Cash's Ride This Train, where the barefoot boy does a spoken monologue with train sounds in the background, and spins together songs from across America--tho' I can't recall right now if any of them were train songs-- :(
