Josef's Train

I dreamed I saw you, brother o mine
Riding on Josefs train
With the men of steel down the long, thin line
Riding on Josefs train
You close your eyes and the engines run
Riding on Josefs train
All the way to Rio in the red, red sun
Riding on Josefs train

When they hear the whistle blow
Some just cant refuse
The meeting time, the greeting time
And the smell of dead mens shoes

I dreamed I saw you, brother o mine
Riding on Josefs train
With the men of steel down the long, thin line
Riding on Josefs train
You close your eyes and the engines run
Riding on Josefs train
All the way to Rio in the red, red sun
Riding on Josefs train

Well, I dreamed I met with John Waynes ghost
Riding on Josefs train
With a peep show queen and a heavenly host
Riding on Josefs train
He was talking to the engineer ringing the bell
Riding on Josefs train
With a smile to the sky as the shadow fell
Riding on Josefs train

Want to see those lanterns burning
In the cities and the towns
Want to check whos on the platform
When October comes back round

And I dreamed I saw you, brother o mine
Riding on Josefs train
With the men of steel down the long, thin line
Riding on Josefs train
And, oh, my soul when they cross the border
Riding on Josefs train
And, oh, my soul when they give the orders
Riding on Josefs train
Riding, riding
Riding on Josefs train
Riding, riding
Riding on Josefs train
Riding on Josefs train
