I'll keep pulling on the towpath |
|
You keep floating on the river |
|
Yeah, until the day is done |
|
Keep on keeping on the low road |
|
Chesapeake and Ohio |
|
Because on the higher ground you will find |
|
Elephant riders to the northwest bring news from father |
|
Looking like it's always closing |
|
The Salty Dog is always open |
|
Here, I got an I O U |
|
Clickity clack clack, clickity clack clack |
|
Baltimore and Ohio |
|
Clickity clack clack, clickity clack clack roll on, roll on |
|
On our way to Washington, where work is done by men with gavels |
|
I heard a sound that just about removed me from my filly's saddle |
|
Just outside of Antietam, where once there was a mighty battle |
|
I heard the rhythm of the hammers beating the rail lines together |
|
Elephant riders to the northwest bring news from father |
|
Don't be eating all the hard tack |
|
Between we two there's half a small sack |
|
Still, we got miles to |
|
Giddy up pony, giddy up pony |
|
Camptown race is five miles long |
|
Giddy up pony, giddy up pony, ride on, ride on |
|
On our way to Washington, where work is done by men with gavels |
|
I heard a sound that just about removed me from my filly's saddle |
|
Just outside of Antietam, where once there was a mighty battle |
|
I heard the rhythm of the hammers beating the rail lines together |
|
Elephant riders to the northwest bring news from father |
|
Elephant riders to the northwest bring news of battle |
