Travelin down this lonesome railroad
Silver Ribbons in my hand
A million miles of cross ties
Marks a million miles I've been
Ive picked peaches down in Georgia,
Apples up in Maine
Pulled cotton out in Texas
Ridin on a Train
I was just a lad of seventeen
My daddy turned me loose
Silver Ribbons callin me
Engine and caboose
I cant recall my mother
She left when I was two
Brunettes, blondes and redheads
Were the only love I knew
CHORUS
Dont ask me where Im going
Dont ask me where Ive been
Those silver ribbons will take me there
There......... and back again
One more time....back again......
Traveling to the tune of freight wheels
Is such a lonely sound
Here that lonesome whistle blow
And leave another town
I wish someone was waiting
Somewhere to welcome me
Then those silver ribbons
Would see no more of me
CHORUS
Dont ask me where Im going
Dont ask me where Ive been
Those silver ribbons will take me there
There......... and back again
One more time....back again......
