"Raised By The Railroad Line"
performed by The Seldom Scene and
written by Paul Craft.
This is not in the key performed by the Scene. I think they did it in F. Robin and Linda Williams do it in this
key but it is easily transposed to wherever it suits your voice.
Verse 1.
C F C
The clickety sound of the southbound freight
C G7
And the high speed hum of a passenger train
C C/B Am
Becomes a part of the soul and the heart and the mind
Am G C
Of a boy who's raised by the railroad line
Verse 2.
C F C
The sound of a whistle at the crossin' road
C G7
And the tanks and the trucks and the tractors on the flatcar load
C C/B Am
Becomes a part of the soul and the heart and the mind
Am G C
Of a boy who's raised by the railroad line
CHORUS:
C F G F
And the big round penny that you lay on the rails
G C
And the wheels mash flat
C F G
And a glimpse of the faces of the ladies
F G
And the men in the engineer's hats
Verse 3.
C F C
And the brakeman waves from the red caboose
C G7
He's a part of the past, never quite turns loose
C C/B Am
Becomes a part of the soul and the heart and the mind
Am G C
Of a boy who's raised by the railroad line
~~Instrumental Break over the verse.~~
