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 that fills the tunnels

Never falter never quail

Keep your hand upon the throttle

And your eye upon the rail

As you roll across the trestle

Spanning jordan's swelling tide

You behold the union depot

Into which your train will glide

There'll you meet the superintendent

God the father god the son

With the hearty joyous plaudit

Weary pilgrim welcome home

Blessed savior thou will guide us

'Till we reach that blissful shore

Where the angels wait to join us

In thy praise forevermore

In thy praise forevermore
