Bluegrass Songs - Life is like a mountain railroad

Life is like a mountain railroad

Life is like a mountain railroad
With an engineer so brave
We must make this run successful
From the cradle to the grave
Watch the curves, the fills the tunnels
Never falter, never fail
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail

    Oh, blessed Savior, thou wilt guide us
    Til we reach that blissful shore
    Where the angels wait to join us
    In God's grace forever more

As you roll across the trestle
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You behold the union depot
Into which your train will glide
There you'll meet the superintendent
God the Father, God the Son
With a hearty, joyous greeting
Weary pilgrim, welcome home
