Lyrics for The Train Blues

The freedom train is coming, can't you hear the whistle blowing Its time get your ticket and get on board Its time for all the people to take this freedom ride Get it together and work for freedom side by side I'm gonna ride on the freedom train I ain't gonna live this way again I'm gonna get on the freedom train from this day on I'll be a free man (yes I will I'll be a free man) Seem like the times are changing people The trains waiting at the station go on up to the mountain top and get on board Were gonna ride on through the valley Under the clear blue sky Everybody's gonna stand up proud with their heads held high I'm gonna ride on the freedom train I ain't gonna live this way again I'm gonna get on the freedom train from this day on I'll be a free man (yes I will I'll be a free man) Keep on moving, Cast your vote Tell 'em where to get off, Keep on Going We're gonna see the mountains, Keep on going Gotta get your ticket, The Freedom Train
