Harry Nilsson - Nobody Cares About The Railroads Anymore Lyrics






When we got married back in 1944
We'd board that Silverliner below Baltimore
Trip to Virginia on a sunny honeymoon
Nobody cares about the railroads anymore

We'd tip the porter for a place of our own
Then send a postcard to your mom and dad back back home
Mmm, it did something to you when you'd hear that "All aboard"
Nobody cares about the railroads anymore

Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee
Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee

We had a daughter and you oughtta see her now
She has a boyfriend who looks just like my gal Sal
And when they're married they won't need us anymore
They'll board an aeroplane and fly away from Baltimore

Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee
Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee

When we got married back in 1944
We'd board that Silverliner below Baltimore
Trip to Virginia on a sunny honeymoon
Nobody cares about the railroads anymore

La la la la-la la-la-la la la bye-bye
La la la la-la la-la-la la la don't cry
Mmm, it did something to you when you'd hear that "All aboard"
Nobody cares about the railroads anymore

    this song, along with nilsson on this seesaw in an autumn day, really give me some good memories

    It was a tribute to his mother, who got remarried in 1944.

    Reminds me of my traintrip from Chicago to Nashville in October 1975. The most beautiful sight and colours I've ever seen in my live!!

    They were both very good friends. The Beatles LOVED Nillsson's first LP. In fact, they even helped give him a boost early in his career.

  7. A.... R....

    So true, so true. How I miss the railroads. I grew up riding my daddy's train. A great experience. Y'all today just don't know what you missed.

    Thank you for posting this. Reminds me of wonderful times in the late 60s when the world ran at a much easier pace. To all who enjoyed those times, may your lives be lived in love, peace and happiness. We may not have got it right all the time but we had some good times along the way.
