This Song

Lyrics

I was born in the backwoods, baby Folks said "Son, you'd better move along" I took a train on the night road, baby Nothing's gonna keep me from singing this song The train rolled to a lonely station Misty Monday morning about a quarter to one I looked around, what were all the people singing? They were standing there, singing this song This song, this song, this song They were standing there, singing this song Stepped up to the ticket counter I said into the wicket "Better take this one" He said "Son, you've got the last seat on it Better get aboard and start singing this song" This song, this song, this song They were standing there, singing this song Now we're moving about ninety miles an hour Moving through the country, oh what a sight All the people there, they were still singing They were standing there, singing with all of their might This song, this song, this song They were standing there, singing this song This song, this song, this song They were standing there, singing this song They were standing there, singing this song They were standing there, singing this song
