Geula Cannonball
Verse
Out from the wide Pacific, to the broad Atlantic shore
She climbs the flowery mountains, over hills and by the shore
Although she looks a simple train, soon she'll be known by all
She aint' no regular combination, The Geula cannonball.
Chorus
Oh listen to her song, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the Woodland, over the hills and by the shore
She climbs the flowery mountains, hear the shofar call
She takes you to the Holyland the Geula cannonball.
Verse
Oh, the Eastern states are dandy, so the Western people say,
Chicago, Rock Island, St. Louis by the way
The lakes of Minnesota where the rippling Waters fall
Gonna go to a better place now on the Geula Cannonball
Chorus
Oh listen to her song, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the Woodland, over the hills and by the shore
She climbs the flowery mountains, hear the shofar call
She takes you to the Holyland the Geula cannonball.
Verse
I've rode the I. C. limited, put Tefillin on a few
Across the Eastern Counties, gave out Shabbos candles too
I have rode these highball trains mumbling Chitas, Rambam and all
But I have found no equal to the Geula cannonball
Chorus
Oh listen to her song, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the Woodland, over the hills and by the shore
She climbs the flowery mountains, hear the shofar call
She takes you to the Holyland the Geula cannonball.
Verse
Oh, there's old Galus,gone with history
to be soon forgotten from the hearts of you and me
It's stage time is over, the curtain round it fall
We're carried on to victory on the Geula Cannonball
Chorus
Oh listen to her song, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the Woodland, over the hills and by the shore
She climbs the flowery mountains, hear the shofar call
She takes you to the Holyland the Geula cannonball.
Oh listen to her song, the rumble and the roar
As she glides along the Woodland, over the hills and by the shore
She climbs the flowery mountains, hear the shofar call
She takes you to the Holyland the Geula cannonball.
