Sorrow On the Rails |
The air is cold and biting |
The sky is bleak and white |
A prison train goes travelling |
Swiftly through the night |
Fourty men in bondage |
Off to meet their fate |
They’re wrongfully convicted |
But now it seems it’s much too late! |
In Siberia |
There’s sorrow on the rails |
These prisoners have done no wrong |
But now they’re off to jail |
Curse the wicked man |
Who led the cruel attack |
Their train has left the station but |
It’s never coming back |
A crooked politician |
Was soon to be exposed |
By several men who knew the truth |
When trouble had arose |
Furious and panicked |
He came up with a lie |
He pulled some strings and banished them |
And sent these poor men off to die |
In Siberia |
There’s sorrow on the rails |
These prisoners have done no wrong |
But now they’re off to jail |
Curse the wicked man |
Who led the cruel attack |
Their train has left the station but |
It’s never coming… |
Wait! |
There may be a gleam of hope |
As one of the prisoners has loosened up his rope |
Freed from his bonds, he sneaks down front |
Up to the engine with a man to confront |
Slow and soft are this man’s steps |
As he walks with his rope plotting out what’s next |
He enters the cab slowly from the rear |
Then he binds and gags the engineer |
In Siberia |
There’s triumph on the rails |
These blameless men have freed themselves |
From those who would assail |
Now they’re free at last |
And racing down the track |
They’re moving ever forward |
And they’re never going — Hey! |
Never going back |
