The Jupiter & The 119
Railroad Earth

The Jupiter is gleaming shining in the sun

Everybody ready for the great cross country run

Tell me have you heard the story goin' down the wire ... goin' down the line?

She's ready to be going breathing smoke & steam

She edges on the iron and the crowd begins to scream

Tell me have you heard the story of the Jupiter and the 119?

They fire off the cannons she blows a whistle blast

Goes flying round the corner moving strong and moving fast

Tell me have you heard the story goin' down the wire ... goin' down the line?

Tell me have you heard the story of the Jupiter and the 119?

The Jupiter is on the run heading for the setting sun

And when she rests, the east and west are tied

Wooooo wooooo

Off from California from the Sacramento yard

The 119 is moving pushing strong and pushing hard

She's through the snowy mountains took them right in stride

Crested the sierra & went down the other side

Tell me have you heard the story going down the wire ... going down the line?

Across the grassed horizon across the giant plain

Across a thousand miles of iron roars the mighty U.P. train

She tops the Sherman summit a mighty feat of man

Sails through echo canyon and across the dale creek span

Tell me have you heard the story going down the wire ... going down the line?

Through the fiery desert the 119 has run

Through the devil's gorge beneath the blazing fiery sun

Through tunnels and through canyons cleared by shovel & by pick

10,000 men who blasted, clawed and hauled with muscles thick

Tell me have you heard the story going down the wire ... going down the line?

Tell me have you heard the story of the Jupiter and the 119?

The Jupiter is on the run heading for the setting sun

And when she rests, the east and west are tied

Wooooo wooooo woo woo wooooo

They've met in promontory from the east and west they're here

All across the country they've raised a mighty cheer

The mighty trains are polished on the tracks they proudly rest

The crowd's all gathered round them dressed up in their Sunday best

A big brass band is playing it's a bright unclouded day

The speaker's oratory and the bosses have their say

The reverend says a prayer it's mercifully short

The drunken rail-men laugh and the iron horses snort

The engines move in closer they ease in down the line

The champagne bottles pop so fill your glass it's toasting time

The engines ease for meeting nose to nose alike

They raise the silver hammer and they nail the golden spike

Tell me have you heard the story going down the wire ... going down the line?

Tell me have you heard the story of the Jupiter and the 119?

Wooooo wooooo wooooo wooooo
