There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
DO FA SOL When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
DO FA DOLong before the white man and long before the wheel
- DO SOL SIb DO SOLm DO SOLm DO
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real.
But time has not beginnings and histr'y has no bounds
As to this verdant country they came from all around
They sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forests tall
Built the mines mills and the factories for the good of us all.
And when the young man's fancy was turnin' in the spring
The railroad men grew restless for to hear the hammers ring.
Their minds were over-flowin' with the visions of their day
And many a fortune won and lost and many a debt to pay.
There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
Long before the white man and long before the wheel
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real.

For they looked in the future and what did they see
SIb DO They saw an iron road running from the sea to the sea
SOL REmBringin' the goods to a young growin' land
- SIb DO
All up from the seaports and into their hands
Bring in the workers and bring up the rails
We gotta lay down the tracks and tear up the trails
Open her heart let the life-blood flow
Gotta get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow.
SIb SOLGet on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow.
DO FA SOLBehind the blue Rockies the sun is declinin'
- DO FA RE SOL
The stars they come stealin' at the close of the day.
DO FA SOL Across the wide prairies our loved ones lie sleeping
DO FA SOL DOBeyond the dark forest in a place far away.
We are the plow-boys who work upon the railway
Swingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sun
Livin' on stew and drinkin' bad whiskey
Layin' down track 'til the long days are done.
DO FA SOL DO DO SOLm DO SOLmYeah, bendin' our backs 'til the railroad is done.
SOLm DO SOLm DONow the song of the future has been sung
DO SOLm DOAll the battles have been won
- SOLm DO
On the mountain tops we stand
SOLm DO All the world at our command
SOLm DOWe have opened up the soil
- SOLm SOL
With our teardrops and our toil
There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
Long before the white man and long before the wheel
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real.
But time has not beginnings and histr'y has no bounds

When the green dark forest was too silent to be real.
