a train named hiawatha

through the rain across the fruited plain rolls a rolling locomotive train Red Cloud Nebraska Blue Earth Minnesota Grayville Illinois to Greenville Maine

Rueben takes a rail from Devil's Lake hops the Hiawatha in St. Paul Sulfur, Oklahoma El Dorado and La Plata through Missouri like a cannonball

and it goes and goes swiftly down the track through the day that glows to the night so black...blaack

near the pond in Voltage, Oregon ends the line from Seneca to Burns take the 180 north to Enterprise and Echo twisting like Snake River as it turns

Newport News East St Louis blues Vernal Utah buried under snow Antlers Oklahoma Armour South Dakota Luna County in New Mexico

and it goes and goes swiftly down the track through the day that glows to the night so black...blaack

through the rain across the fruited plain west from Crater Lake to Pantaloon southbound to the stable east to Abe and Able northbound to the center of the moon

and it goes and goes swiftly down the track through the day that glows to the night so black...blaack
