The City Council met last week, the vote was four to three |
|
To burn 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 just 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 dig inside 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... |
