Lyrics by bernie taupin

Never released

Ive served upon this railroad for longer than I know

My father and his father did the same thing long ago

To keep the western union rolling down towards the sea

The benefits of this great line built for you and me

So rolling western union, you can roll on to the sea

Ten thousand miles of beatin steel has made a man out of me

In every state Ive driven home a rivet with my hands

Oh its rolling western union rolling onward, onward through our land

Its friends of mine who died upon the building of this line

Irishmen and chinamen and some from the british isles

Ive even seen the convicts come to work here for a while

Before the law caught up with them and sent them back to trial

I had a wife while on the job a hundred miles on back

She died in oklahoma and I laid her by the track

All thats left is a wooden cross upright on a mound

And every time the train rolls past, it rumbles in the ground
