We are going back to the 1700’s, yippie!
They say there are over 800 known railroad songs. This is one I used to play over and over on John Hammond’s album So Many Roads. Other versions are good but I now place Joe Bonamassa’s Live From the Royal Albert Hall album at the top as best.

So many roads
So many trains to ride

So many roads
So many trains to ride
So many roads
So many trains to ride
I’m gonna find my baby
Before I’ll be satisfied
