The Freedom Train |
| This song is a train song, it’s a song about a train |
| Not the Atchison, Topeka, not the Chattanooga Choo-Choo |
| Nor the one that leaves at midnight for the state of Alabam' |
| This song is a train song where the engineer is Uncle Sam |
| Here comes the Freedom Train |
| You better hurry down |
| Just like a Paul Revere |
| It’s comin’into your home town |
| Inside the freedom train |
| You’ll find a precious freight |
| Those words of liberty |
| The documents that made us great |
| You can shout your anger from a steeple |
| You can shoot the system full of holes |
| You can always question «We the People» |
| You can get your answer at the polls |
| That’s how it’s always been |
| And how it will remain |
| So long as all of us Keep riding on the Freedom Train |
| You can write the President a letter |
| You can even tell him to his face |
| If you think that you can do it better |
| Get the votes and you can take his place |
| You can hate the laws that you’re obeying |
| You can shout your anger to the crowd |
| We may disagree with what you’re saying |
| But we’ll fight to let you say it loud |
