Seaboard Airline Rag
[Chorus]
Riding on the seaboard airline, daylight special railway
Where azaleas grow, soft breezes blow
And the sun shines every day
I never will roam from my little old home
No, I never will change my mind
I'll never go up north to Richmond again on the seaboard airline
[Verse 1]
Sitting in the old Belmont hotel, bumming for Nickels and Dimes
Just a-watching the girls walk to-and-fro
On the sunny, southern climb
New York newspaper in my hand, the latest word they say
To the ice and snow I never will go
No never will stray away
[Chorus]
Riding on the seaboard airline, daylight special railway
Where azaleas grow, soft breezes blow
And the sun shines every day
I never will roam from my little old home
No, I never will change my mind
I'll never go up north to Richmond again on the seaboard airline
[Verse 2]
I'll never go back on the rails again, never work that dining car
Where the pullman porters walk up and down
Smoking a cheap cigar
Where the southern moon shines in the south
Through the live oaks far away
Just a-hanging around Savannah town, you'll find me every day
[Chorus]
Riding on the seaboard airline, daylight special railway
Where azaleas grow, soft breezes blow
And the sun shines every day
I never will roam from my little old home
No, I never will change my mind
I'll never go up north to Richmond again on the seaboard airline
Riding on the seaboard airline, daylight special railway
Where azaleas grow, soft breezes blow
And the sun shines every day
I never will roam from my little old home
No, I never will change my mind
I'll never go up north to Richmond again on the seaboard airline
[Verse 1]
Sitting in the old Belmont hotel, bumming for Nickels and Dimes
Just a-watching the girls walk to-and-fro
On the sunny, southern climb
New York newspaper in my hand, the latest word they say
To the ice and snow I never will go
No never will stray away
[Chorus]
Riding on the seaboard airline, daylight special railway
Where azaleas grow, soft breezes blow
And the sun shines every day
I never will roam from my little old home
No, I never will change my mind
I'll never go up north to Richmond again on the seaboard airline
[Verse 2]
I'll never go back on the rails again, never work that dining car
Where the pullman porters walk up and down
Smoking a cheap cigar
Where the southern moon shines in the south
Through the live oaks far away
Just a-hanging around Savannah town, you'll find me every day
[Chorus]
Riding on the seaboard airline, daylight special railway
Where azaleas grow, soft breezes blow
And the sun shines every day
I never will roam from my little old home
No, I never will change my mind
I'll never go up north to Richmond again on the seaboard airline
