Blue Water Line
The Brothers Four

The City Council met last week, the vote was four to three

To burn the home town depot down and build a factory

To take that stretch of history and tear it off the map

To take melt old engine number nine and turn it into scrap


Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line

Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line

If you can't afford a quarter then you ought to give a dime

If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line


Oh, I could tell you stories of the glories of that train

Of the 49'er miners and the time old Jesse James

Stole a thousand golden nuggets in that 'Great Train Robbery'

And when old Abe Lincoln rode with Tad upon his knee


Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line

Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line

If you can't afford a quarter then you ought to give a dime

If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line


Just twenty thousand quarters and just forty thousand dimes

And we'll ride again to glory on the old Blue Water Line

We'll have William Jennings Bryant stokin' coal on number nine

So dig inside your pockets for the old Blue Water Line


Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line

Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line

If you can't afford a quarter then you ought to give a dime

If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line

If everybody gave then we could save the Blue Water Line


Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line

Blue Water, Blue Water, Blue Water Line
