All along the southbound odyssey

The train pulls out at Kankakee

And the sons of Pullman porters

Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel

Mothers with their babes asleep

Are rockin' to the gentle beat

And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

To fade into a bad dream

The passengers will please refrain

This train got the disappearing railroad blues
