Lyrics

There's a tiny village with its landscape painted green
A firehouse, a general store, all the streets are clean
The people in the village love to hear that whistle sound
And they all wave at Jackie when the engine comes around
They say roll train roll
The steel and all its rhythm
Are sweet music to his soul
You'll be riding safe tonight
Come hell or freezing rain
The red caps got your baggage
All aboard Jackie's Train
A cow strays from the meadow
She's stranded on the track
Jackie's fingers lift her up
Then gently put her back
The train chugs on down the line
Through the kitchen and the den
Disappearing under Jackie's bed
And back to town again
He says roll train roll
The steel and all its rhythm
Are sweet music to his soul
You'll be riding safe tonight
Come hell or freezing rain
The red caps got your baggage
All aboard Jackie's Train
Jackie never stops the train when he's home all alone
He keeps her rolling round and round till mama comes home
Jackie can't go out to play, the village needs him there
Every little detail of the train gets all his care
Gotta keep it rolling, gotta stay on time
When he dies he knows they'll honor him
For miles on down the line
He says roll train roll
The steel and all its rhythm
Are sweet music to his soul
You'll be riding safe tonight
Come hell or freezing rain
The red caps got your baggage
All aboard Jackie's Train
