Goodbye brother, hello railroad So long, Chicago All these years, thought I was where I ought to be
But times are changing This country's growing And I'm bound for San Francisco
Oh I've lived through more than I could tell I've sold all that I could sell Finally leaving it behind, goodbye, farewell
If it isn't one thing, then it's one thing more If it isn't a fever that shows you the door It's the air, or the water or the goddamn war
Goodbye brother, hello railroad So long, Chicago All these years thought I was where I ought to be But times are changing This country's growing And I'm bound for San Francisco
Mama died, brother was born Daddy tried but he came up short We were hungry, scared, and needed more
How much can a person take? I been working hard since I was eight Got more than my share of years upon my face (Upon my face)
Brother, I've made up my mind Got a ticket on the Union Line I know we'll meet again on the other side
Goodbye brother, hello railroad So long, Chicago All these years, thought I was where I ought to be But times are changing This country's growing And I'm bound for San Francisco Where a new life waits for me
