Run run run with the railroad
When their backs are turned
Run for the fences Riley
When their backs are turned
Follow the railroad Riley
When their backs are turned
Up over the mountain Riley
When their backs are turned
You'll find the place you're promised
When their backs are turned
Run run run with the railroad
When their backs are turned
Run run run with the railroad
When their backs are turned
Run run run with the railroad
Get out of their sight
When the engine turns
and you've got to move on
Then you've got to move on at night
Not a sound
Not a sound
