American Train
Ahhh...
Ahhh...
This train train runs on coal,
Built by the pockets of American gold
This train runs express,
From Camden, east, to Oakland, west
These tracks built by men,
Came on boats, they'll come again
So strong are these hands
Soaked in earth, they till the land
American train comin' down the track
The things I say I'm gonna take back
American train always comes in black
American train
American
American
Uh, ha!
Uh, ha!
Uh, ha!
First car runs this train
Cut their teeth on steel and grain
Set the table with silver spoons
Starve them and they'll come for you
That man, over there,
I don't think he paid his fare
Oh no, my God, they're onto him
Can't do no wrong in American skin
Soon someone else will redeem me
Saying we were just American dreaming
And while the world was sleeping,
I dreamt my fathers gently weeping
Weeping
American
American
American
American
American
American...
Uh, ha!
Ahhh...
This train train runs on coal,

Weeping

Uh, ha!
