Cline, Patsy - Life's Railway To Heaven Lyrics






Life is like a mountain railroad
With an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful
From the cradle to the grave

Watch the curves, the fills, and tunnels
Never falter, never fail
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eyes upon the rail

Blessed savior, thou will guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In that great forevermore

Blessed savior, thou will guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In that great forevermore

    WHAT A PRECIOUS SONG TO PRAISE OUR LORD GOD IN HEAVEN !!!!!! I LOVE PATSY CLINE VERISON !!!!!!! BUT TOMPALL GLASER VERSION WITH HIS ADDED LYRICS JUST TEARS YOUR HEART OUT !!!!!!!!!!

  28. P.... B....

    Everyone who ever heard you sing loved you Patsy.
    What a great person & singer you were. Thanks

  29. M.... Y....

    Haunting and beautiful version. "REAL" Country And Western Music the way it was PROUDLY done in the 1950's to the early 1970's. The so called Country(TRASH) Music being PUSHED today can't be compared to the treasures of yesteryear like this song.

    M.... Y....

    Melodias Y Recuerdos Pushed is the perfect word

  30. w.... g....

    Going to stop by Patsy's grave this summer and play this song for her.

  31. T.... T....

    Best I can remember, the lady at the FBO in Dyersburg tried to get her to wait on takeoff.

  32. P.... M....

    Reading a biography on Patsy that I have previously read, in this book it says Patsy's Father's favorite song to sing, (he had an amazing voice, all the Hensley's did), was this song. I find it cute how Patsy did this song just knowing it was her dad's fav song, even though her father was a dead beat and she disliked him.

  33. �.... ....

    listen, and listen. anytime you want.

  34. G.... D....

    Follow your dreams, keep real & be guided by God's laws.

  35. K.... D....

    Nobody sings this song better !!!!!!!! Great version !!!!!!

  36. R.... F....

    Amen🙏🏻

  37. d.... h....

    it's ok with me mf

  38. d.... h....

    Love Her Singing

    d.... h....

    +desirae hinkle
    I would like to use this song in a short film I am making. Can anyone please tell me who owns the rights?

    d.... h....

    +John Harris I would probably say Decca, if they even are still around.

  39. P.... S....

    patsy cline beautiful voice played this number on the cremation of my dad

  40. N.... M....

  42. M.... Y....

    Captivating

  43. L.... F....

    très trés belle chanson, j 'adoreeeeeeeeeeeeeee, thanks PATSY. <3 <3 <3

  44. R.... P....

    Wow So soulful and true

  45. S.... E....

    The best of the best, song and singer.  Such a great gospel song and to have Patsy singing it just adds to the inspiration.

  46. A.... E....

    Traumhafte Stimme und eine tolle Frau,die leider viel zu früh sterben mußte.

  47. H.... M....

    You're right - Willy- many country artists used the rocking and cadence of riding the rails to write songs as they traveled from place to place either as legal passengers or as jumpers it made it simple to set up background music! for recording!

  48. K.... F....

    Truly lovely.

  49. d.... p....

    With the angels backing her. Spine tingling.

  50. w.... h....

    The way she sustains some notes reminds me the plangent sound of wheels running on the rails.

  51. G.... M....

    The Jordanaires are such a great compliment to this song .

  52. W.... D....

    so good .
    nothing comes close.

  53. T.... W....

    My very first memory, I must have been 3-4years old, was of my Mother rocking me to sleep, singing this song. Great song to start a life off with, over 40 years ago. Thanks Mom!

    T.... W....

    Mom would sing us to sleep whie singing this song~so peaceful !

  54. H.... D....

    So beautiful!!

    Life is like a mountain railroad
    With an engineer that's brave
    We must make the run successful
    From the cradle to the grave

    Watch the curves, the fills, and tunnels
    Never falter, never fail
    Keep your hand upon the throttle
    And your eyes upon the rail

    Blessed savior, thou will guide us
    Till we reach that blissful shore
    Where the angels wait to join us
    In that great forevermore

    Blessed savior, thou will guide us
    Till we reach that blissful shore
    Where the angels wait to join us
    In that great forevermore

  56. W.... ....

    Patsy Cline is timeless.

  57. P.... M....

    I'm going to take a guess and say that the eight people who disliked this song are either deaf or simply don't know good music when they hear it. Their loss.

    P.... M....

    Pete Martin or hit it by accident !

    P.... M....

    Make that 51, Pete. Merry Christmas to them anyway. And to you, sir.

  58. G.... V....

    Recorded July 3 1959

  59. S.... P....

    One of my favourite songs ever

  60. J.... L....

    Wow.. just heard this for the first time. What great lyrics!
    Life is like a mountain railway,
    With an engineer that’s brave;
    We must make the run successful,
    From the cradle to the grave;
    Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels;
    Never falter, never fail;
    Keep your hands upon the throttle,
    And your eyes upon the rail.
    Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us,
    Till we reach that blissful shore,
    Where the angels wait to join us
    In Thy praise forevermore.

  61. G.... V....
