The city council met last week the vote was four to three

To tear the home town depot down and build a factory

To take that stretch of history and tear it off the map

And to take old engine number nine and turn it into scrap

Blue water blue water blue water line

Blue water blue water blue water line

If you can't afford a quarter then you ought to give a dime

If everybody gave then we could save the blue water line

Oh I could tell you stories of the glories of that train

Of the 49'er miners and the time old Jesse James

Stole a thousand golden nuggets in that great train robbery

And when old Abe Lincoln rode with Tad upon his knee

Blue water blue water blue water line

Blue water blue water blue water line

If you can't afford a quarter then you ought to give a dime

If everybody gave then we could save the blue water line

Just twenty thousand quarters and just forty thousand dimes

And we'll ride again to glory on the old blue water line

We'll have William Jennings Bryant stokin' coal on number nine

So dig inside your pockets for the old blue water line

Blue water blue water blue water line

Blue water blue water blue water line

If you can't afford a quarter then you ought to give a dime

If everybody gave then we could save the blue water line

If everybody gave then we could save the blue water line

Blue water blue water blue water line

Blue water blue water blue water line
