Chorus:
Get outta the way, train's a comin'
Get outta the way, it's close at hand
Get outta the way, train's a comin'
Get outta the way of that train to Dixieland.
The train down to Dixieland you all heard about
It don't run no more, in fact you know it all run out
Used to hear that whistle blowin' like a thousand screams
It used to be the fastest thing that I'd ever seen.
Chorus:
Get outta the way, train's a comin'
Get outta the way, it's close at hand
Get outta the way, train's a comin'
Get outta the way of that train to Dixieland.
I used to steal away sometimes and go down by the tracks,
And stand so close the wind would nearly knock me on my back.
I won't forget those winter nights and lose that lonesome sound
I won't forget that railroad train that shook me to the ground.
Chorus:
Get outta the way, train's a comin'
Get outta the way, it's close at hand
Get outta the way, train's a comin'
Get outta the way of that train to Dixieland.
(Instrumental)
Only time I went up north to take a look around
I found out while that train was in a hurry comin' down
The years are passin' faster than that train could ever run
I guess it died and went somewhere the way John Henry done.
Chorus:
Get outta the way, train's a comin'
Get outta the way, it's close at hand
Get outta the way, train's a comin'
Get outta the way of that train to Dixieland.
Repeat Chorus:
Get outta the way, train's a comin'
Get outta the way, it's close at hand
Get outta the way, train's a comin'
