My Granddaddy was

a railroad man

When I was young he

took me by the hand

Dragged me to the station

at the break of dawn

Said Boy

I got to show you

somethin' 'fore it's gone

She was blue and silver

she was right on time

We rode that Texas Eagle

on the Mopac line

We had some sandwiches

that Grandma packed

We rode to Palestine

and hitchhiked back

Home in time for supper

with a tale to tell

That night I dreamed I heard

that lonesome whistle wail

When I got old enough

to take the train alone

I ride that Texas Eagle

down to San Antone

And nowadays they

don't make no trains

Just the piggyback freighters

and them Amtrak things

They shut the Eagle

down a while ago

Sold it to the railroad

down in Mexico

And every now and then

that whistle's on my mind

I ride that Texas Eagle

'cross the borderline
