[clarence]
commencing in chattanooga

[all]
commencing in chattanooga

[clarence]
on the southern railroad line

[all]
on the southern railroad line

[andy, spoken]
come on roy, grab on!

[roy, spoken]
where we goin’, andy?

[andy, spoken]
who cares? just don’t fall off!

[haywood]
i got up in the morning when my sleep was done
and i felt that cherry chattanooga sun
then i thanked the lord above that i was still alive
and i waited for the “six+o+five”
[all]
commencing in chattanooga

[haywood]
and it chugga+chugga’d in and i said “there you are”
and i scrambled in the old box car
then i settled back believin’ that the world was fine
i was travelin’ on the southern linе

[all]
commencing in chattanooga
on the southern railroad linе

[haywood]
now you can take your b and o
and you can take your santa fe
and you can take your old rock island line

[all]
and throw them all away

[haywood]
and if the pennsylvania calls
just say you want your money back
and if the new your central’s on the phone
[all]
tell them they’re way off the track
commencing in chattanooga
(commencing in chattanooga)
i said we’re commencing in chattanooga
on the southern railroad line
on the southern railroad line

[interlocutor, spoken]
thank you boys, now, one more time!

[haywood, olen, ozie & clarence]
now, you can take your b and o

[haywood, charlie, andy & eugene]
and you can take your santa fe

[haywood, roy, ozie & willie]
and you can take your old rock island line

[all]
and throw them all away

[olen]
and if the pennsylvania calls
[roy]
just say you want your money back

[andy]
and if the new york central’s on the phone

[olen, roy & andy]
tell ‘em they’re way off the track

[all]
commencing in chattanooga

[haywood, spoken]
faraway places, they’re in my bones! i know the states! southeast to georgia, down to pensacola, north to knoxville, west to arkansas and straight on to shreveport! i know the train schedules! when the freights leave, when they arrive! i can light a b+tt in the wind on top of a moving boxcar! i am free! i am free! i am free!

(singing)

there ain’t a soul can hold be back
cause i am just as free as air
as long as i got legs and train got wheels
i could arrive me anywhere
and if the lord above comes down
and asks you where the h+ll i am
just answer “no one knows where haywood goes”
cause i’m a box car baby lamb

[all]
commencing in chattanooga
commencing in chattanooga
on the southern railroad line

[roy, spoken]
why’s this train slowin’ down andy?

[andy, spoken]
this train ain’t supposed to stop ‘til memphis

[roy, spoken]
we a long way from memphis
