Lyrics for Freedom Train The 1947 by Irving Berlin:
| | | Artist: | Irving Berlin |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | Freedom Train The 1947 | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 70 | | | | Lyrics: | This song is a train song, it's a song about a train
Not the Atchison, Topeka, not the
Chattanooga Choo-Choo
Nor the one that leaves at midnight for the state of Alabam'
This
song is a train song where the engineer is Uncle Sam
Here comes the Freedom
Train
You better hurry down
Just like a Paul Revere
It's comin' into your home
town
Inside the freedom train
You'll find a precious freight
Those words of
liberty
The documents that made us great
You can shout your anger from a
steeple
You can shoot the system full of holes
You can always question "We the
People"
You can get your answer at the polls
That's how it's always been
And
how it will remain
So long as all of us
Keep riding on the Freedom
Train
[2nd bridge:]
You can write the President a letter
You can even
tell him to his face
If you think that you can do it better
Get the votes and you can take
his place
[3rd bridge:]
You can hate the laws that you're obeying
You can shout
your anger to the crowd
We may disagree with what you're saying
But we'll fight to let you
say it loud | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
