Chesapeake and Ohio
Clickity clack clack, clickity clack clack
Giddy up pony, giddy up pony
Clickity clack clack, clickity clack clack roll on, roll on
Keep on keeping on the low road
I heard the rhythm of the hammers beating the rail lines together
Yeah, until the day is done
Here, I got an I O U
I heard a sound that just about removed me from my filly's saddle
I heard a sound that just about removed me from my filly's saddle
Because on the higher ground you will find
Just outside of Antietam, where once there was a mighty battle
Elephant riders to the northwest bring news from father
On our way to Washington, where work is done by men with gavels
I heard the rhythm of the hammers beating the rail lines together
Elephant riders to the northwest bring news from father
On our way to Washington, where work is done by men with gavels
Don't be eating all the hard tack
Between we two there's half a small sack
Baltimore and Ohio
Just outside of Antietam, where once there was a mighty battle
Looking like it's always closing
Still, we got miles to
Camptown race is five miles long
Giddy up pony, giddy up pony, ride on, ride on
The Salty Dog is always open
Elephant riders to the northwest bring news from father
