Lyrics Harry Nilsson

Harry Nilsson

Nobody Cares About the Railroads Anymore

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
