I dreamed I saw you, brother o' mine Riding on Josef's train With the men of steel down the long, thin line Riding on Josef's train You close your eyes and the engines run Riding on Josef's train All the way to Rio in the red, red sun Riding on Josef's train When they hear that whistle blow Some just can't refuse The meeting time, the greeting time And the smell of dead men's shoes And I dreamed I saw you, brother o' mine Riding on Josef's train With the men of steel down the long, thin line Riding on Josef's train You close your eyes and the engines run Riding on Josef's train All the way to Rio in the red, red sun Riding on Josef's train Well, I dreamed I met with John Wayne's ghost Riding on Josef's train With a peep show queen and a heavenly host Riding on Josef's train He was talking to the engineer ringing the bell Riding on Josef's train With a smile to the sky as the shadow fell Riding on Josef's train Want to see those lanterns burning In the cities and the towns Want to check who's on the platform When October comes back round And I dreamed I saw you, brother o' mine Riding on Josef's train With the men of steel down the long, thin line Riding on Josef's train And, oh, my soul when they cross the border Riding on Josef's train And, oh, my soul when they give the orders Riding on Josef's train Riding, riding Riding on Josef's train Riding, riding Riding on Josef's train Riding on Josef's train
