Red Rover

Now it's a long, long way from new york city
To the smell of georgia clay, y'all
And lord i'm weary
Too tired and lonely
I wish i could leave today
Hey, red rover
Come on over
Now it's a long, long way to where i'm going
To where i might have been, yeah
If i can find a big red train
You know i'm going gonna back again
Hey, red rover
Come on over
Hey, red rover
Your big black engine keeps on rolling
Oh, red rover keeps on going, yeah
It's a stone cold, the sun don't shine
The sky's getting dark and gray, lord
If i can find a big red train
Well, you know i'm going to leave today
Hey, red rover
Come on over
Hey, red rover
Mmm, big black engine keeps on rolling
Oh, red rover keeps on going, yeah
Red rover
Come on over
Red rover
Come on over
Red rover
Come on over
Red rover
Come on over
Red rover
Come on over
Red rover
Come on over
Red rover
Come on over
Red rover
Come on over
Red rover
Come on over
Red rover
Come on
