[Cm] [Bb] [Cm]
[F]
[Eb] through [Bb] the [Cm] world
[F]
Life is like a mountain railroad
With
[Bb] any engineer [F] that's brave
We must make that run successful
From [G] that cradle to
[C] the grave
[D] [F] Watch those curves that fills the tunnels
Never [Bb] fall down, never [F] fail
Keep your hand upon that throttle
And your eye upon [C]
the rail
Blessed [Bb] Saint, Thou [F] who guide
Till we reach that open [C] shore
[F] Where feelings quake [Bb] to joy
In [F] that home, in that home

[F] As we row across that trestle
[Bb] Spanning Jordan, swelling [F] tide
We will behold that Union Depot
Into [G] which our train [C] must glide
There [F] we'll meet that superintendent
It'll be [Bb] God the Father
It'll be [F] God the Son
And with a hearty, joyous welcome
Weary pilgrim, [C]
welcome home
Blessed [Bb] Saint, Thou who [F]
guide
Till we reach that open [C] shore
[F] Where feelings quake [Bb] to [G] joy
In that [Bb] home, in that [C] home
