Basket Landing: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

There's a long steel rail and a short cross tie,
I'm on my way back home,
I'm on that train, that king of them all,
That Streamline Cannonball.

I can see a smile on the engineer's face,
And although he's old and grey,
I can tell at heart he waits for his call,
On that Streamline Cannonball.

CHORUS:
She moves along like a cannonball,
Like a star in its heavenly flight,
The lonesome sound from the whistle you love,
As she travels through the night.

The headlights beam out in the night,
And the firebox flash you can see,
I ride them lines, it's the life that I love,
For it's home, sweet home, to me.
