9th of march 1874
walking along just me and my horse
can you hear, hear what i say
I'm walking from Carlisle to Robin Hoods Bay
I have travelled so far
met a man on the way
he gave me faith , I threw it away
cuz God you have to pay
and ain't no God gonna get in my way
I have travelled so far
I'm searching for the promised land
when I get there gonna work it with my hands
I'm searching for the promised land
when I get there get there get there gonna work it with my hands
met a woman she was beauty
she brought my motherfuckin' faith right back to me
she said she loved me but she lied
so I left her in the still dark night
I have travelled so far
and soon my journey will end
and I will rest in the ground along with my friend
but until that day I'll be here
moving closer to what I fear
I have travelled so far
I'm searching for the promised land
when I get there gonna work it with my hands
I’m searching for the promised land
when I get there gonna work it with my hands
I'm searching for the promised land
when I get there gonna work it with my hands
I'm searching for the promised land
when I get there get there get there gonna work it with my hands
with my hands
with my hands
with my little crab hands
with my little crab hands
I said Jesus on the main line.. tell him what you want
I said Jesus on the main line.. tell him what you want
I said Jesus on the main line.. tell him what you want
just call him up and tell him what you want
I said Jesus on the main line.. tell him what you want
I said Jesus on the main line.. tell him what you want
I said Jesus on the main line.. tell him what you want
just call him up and tell him what you want
if your sick and you want to get better tell him what you want
if your sick and you want to get better tell him what you want
if your sick and you want to get better tell him what you want
just call him up and tell him what you want
I said Jesus on the main line.. tell him what you want
I said Jesus on the main line.. tell him what you want
I said Jesus on the main line.. tell him what you want
just call him up and tell him what you want

he came from FL241
born in to the prairie and the country sun
he wore sunglasses and his papa old hat
he was happy he knew how to kick back
now he went to the city and met a girl called Charlotte
who sung in a band called the red hot scarlet's
but she met Tommy and didn’t call no more
and he just wanted her to walk through his door
and he said
does love fall apart by its self
or does it just find someone else
he said
does love fall apart by its self
or does it just find someone else
wont you tell me
do you need somebody
do you love somebody
are you loving somebody
cuz i got to got to got to I got to know
do you need somebody
do you love somebody
are you loving somebody
cuz i got to got to got to I got to know
when love falls apart more than two people suffer
when love falls apart more than two people hurt
when Holly met Bret , Jamie was suffering
when Marco met Marlon well Maggie was suffering
does love fall apart by its self
or does it just find someone else
he said
does love fall apart by its self
or does it just find someone else
won't you tell me
do you need somebody
do you love somebody
are you loving somebody
cuz i got to got to got to I got to know
do you need somebody
do you love somebody
are you loving somebody
cuz i got to got to got to I got to know

choo choo train is rolling down the track
they don't know they're never coming back
heading on down the line to Johnson's Corner
well I was standing at the station with a suitcase in my hand
the great clock above my head was waving all it's hand
waiting for the train to see my lover
there were soldiers there were priests
there were crates full of geese
there were kids and ma's and pa's
and a band with guitars
all waiting for the train to Johnson's Corner
choo choo train is rolling down the track
they don't know they're never coming back
heading on down the line to Johnson's Corner
well the big wheels started turning as the train pulled out
some people were talking and moving about
a kid was running up and down
a fat man ate a pie
we were picking up speed 60 miles an hour
that mighty train showing all her power
and everyone was talking about their destination
choo choo train is rolling down the track
they don't know they're never coming back
heading on down the line to Johnson's Corner
passing wide open prairies and lakes vast and wide
some people were sleeping and some were getting high
and I was thinking about my love my lover
that black majestic train pulled up the mountain side
higher and higher through the clouds up we rise
everyone was looking they could see for miles and miles
choo choo train is rolling down the track
they don't know they're never coming back
heading on down the line to Johnson's Corner
when we got to the top it felt like time stood still
something wasn't right and I felt a cold chill
and all I could think about
was kissing my darlin'
we were picking up speed as we started going down
everyone was laughing and acting like clowns
and I got a sudden thought and urge to write a letter
choo choo train is rolling down the track
they don't know they're never coming back
heading on down the line to Johnson's Corner
it said my dear dear love
you mean everything to me
more than the earth and the sun and the sea
I was trying to remember the last time we made love
well faster and faster the train went down the track
500 tones of steel were strapped to the back
the drinks started sliding and a momma held her baby
choo choo train is rolling down the track
they don't know they're never coming back
heading on down the line to Johnson's Corner
80, 90 a 100 or more
the driver and the guard could hear the engine roar
he walked calmly down and said
hold on tight now
well finishing the letter
the last words that i wrote
I love you more than life it's self
that age old quote
I sealed up the letter and layed it on the table
choo choo train is rolling down the track
they don't know they're never coming back
heading on down the line to Johnson's Corner
well smoke and sparks were flying
and the wheels were running red
the driver had the breaks on but nothing was gonna work
closer and closer to the corner round the mountain
well the priest sitting across from me forgive me for my sins
the girl with the blonde hair she kissed me on the chin
the breaks were screaming
the train it sounded like thunder
choo choo train is rolling down the track
they don't know they're never coming back
heading on down the line to Johnson's Corner
well the corner getting closer closer by the second
the driver crossed himself said Jesus beckons
all I could think about was love and the devil
then suddenly a crash of twisted mangled steel
then perfect silence like time stood still
I was floating in the air a dog passed by me
choo choo train is rolling down the track
they don't know they're never coming back
heading on down the line to Johnson's Corner
well I held that letter tight in my hand
I shouted i love you i am your man
the light went out when i hit the bottom
when they found me I was headless deep in the land
but found that letter still in my hand
they took it out and took it straight to my lover.
choo choo train is rolling down the track
they don't know they're never coming back
heading on down the line to Johnson's Corner
now on the 15th of April every single year
they meet in a church and shed a little tear
for the wives husbands sons and lovers
and in the center of town it is written on a stone
remembering the train crash a long time ago
the same words that were written in my letter
it said my dear dear love you mean everything to me
more than the earth and the sun and the sea
well the train has gone but never ever forgotten
choo choo train is rolling down the track
they don't know they're never coming back
heading on down the line to Johnson's Corner
choo choo train is rolling down the track
they don't know they're never coming back
heading on down the line to Johnson's Corner

now when I was 6 years old
I’d go walkin’ through the mountains
down in the great valleys
walkin’ along through the long grass with ma hands
one day I walked up to the great majestic river
and I saw the fish jumpin’
and there on the other side I saw a girl
with red hair and green eyes
and I fell in love with her straight away
I jumped in that river
and I swam to the other side
she helped me out
she said to me ma name’s suzanne
me and Suzanne became friends
and we spent all summer playin’ with each other
and I took her home to meet ma and pa
ma ma and pa loved suzanne
they loved her hard
ma momma cooked suzanne the best meal she’d ever had in her life
and Suzanne ate it all up
then I saw ma ma comin’ outta the kitchen with the desert
well well
she ate the pie and the girl had to die
momma's got cherry pie
mommas got cherry pie
momma’s got cherry pie
momma’s got cherry pie
no you're never gonna get ma
no you're never gonna get ma
momma's got cherry pie
momma’s got cherry pie
don’t you ever get too close
to ma momma’s cherry pie
momma's got cherry pie
mommas got cherry pie
well I turned 16 all ma schoolin’ was done
and a found a job at the local abbatore
life was good and I got paid
every day when I used to walk in there
I used to walk past this lady
she had blonde hair and red lips
and her name was deborah
she was about 10 years older than me
but she made me feel so special
we would go out at weekends walking
and she would take me into the woods
strip me down and milk me like a cow
she was beautiful and I felt I needed to marry her
so I took her home to meet ma ma and pa
my ma and pa loved deborah
they loved her hard
ma ma cooked deborah the best meal she’d ever had in her life and deborah ate it up like a pig
then I saw ma ma comin’ outta the kitchen with the desert
well well
she ate the pie and the girl had to die
momma's got cherry pie
mommas got cherry pie
momma’s got cherry pie
momma’s got cherry pie
no you're never gonna get ma
no you're never gonna get ma
momma's got cherry pie
momma’s got cherry pie
don’t you ever get too close
to ma momma’s cherry pie
momma's got cherry pie
mommas got cherry pie
well it’s a kinda sad endin’ to this story
you see ma momma she stupidly took her pie to the local fair and I heard about it
and I walked down to the site and I could see all the white tents there
and I could see the home cookin’ right at the end
and I walk paste all those pygmy goats pygmy rate and little’ fuckin’ dogs
and I walked in there like I was walkin’ into the saloon
and I could see ma momma’s pie on the table
and all them judges hoverin’ around it like coyotes around a deer
and they were getting closer and closer to ma mommas juicy red drippin’ moist cherry pie
and I swung ma coat back and I pulled ma gun out and I took aim
well well
they ate the pie
and they all had to die
momma's got cherry pie
mommas got cherry pie
momma’s got cherry pie
momma’s got cherry pie
no you're never gonna get ma
no you're never gonna get ma
momma's got cherry pie
momma’s got cherry pie
don’t you ever get too close
to ma momma’s cherry
momma's got cherry pie
mommas got cherry pie
momma's got cherry pie
mommas got cherry pie
momma’s got cherry pie
momma’s got cherry pie
no you're never gonna get ma
no you're never gonna get ma
momma's got cherry pie
momma’s got cherry pie
don’t you ever get too close
to ma momma’s cherry
momma's got cherry pie
mommas got cherry pie
