Gordon Lightfoot "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" From the Album - The Way I Feel. 1967 Lyrics: 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 no beginnings and the history 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' to the spring The railroad men grew restless for to hear the hammers ring Their minds were overflowing with the visions of their day And many a fortune lost and won and many a debt to pay For they looked in the future and what did they see They saw an iron road running from the sea to the sea Bringing the goods to a young growing land All up from the seaports and into their hands Look away said they across this mighty land From the eastern shore to the western strand 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 moving too slow Bring in the workers and bring up the rails We're gonna 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 moving too slow Get on our way 'cause we're moving too slow Behind the blue Rockies the sun is declining The stars they come stealing at the close of the day Across the wide prairie our loved ones lie sleeping Beyond the dark ocean in a place far away
