1, My Grandaddy was a railroad man
B7 E
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»

We rode that Texas Eagle on the Mopac line

2, We had some sandwiches that Granma 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 rode that Texas Eagle down to San Antone
