3
Never released
4
I've served upon this railroad for longer than I know
5
My father and his father did the same thing long ago
6
To keep the western union rolling down towards the sea
7
The benefits of this great line built for you and me
8
So rolling western union, you can roll on to the sea
9
Ten thousand miles of beatin' steel has made a man out of me
10
In every state I've driven home a rivet with my hands

[Rolling Western Union lyrics on http://www.elyricsworld.com]
12
Oh it's rolling western union rolling onward, onward through our land
13
It's friends of mine who died upon the building of this line
14
Irishmen and chinamen and some from the british isles
15
I've even seen the convicts come to work here for a while
16
Before the law caught up with them and sent them back to trial
17
I had a wife while on the job a hundred miles on back
18
She died in oklahoma and I laid her by the track
19
All that's left is a wooden cross upright on a mound
20
And every time the train rolls past, it rumbles in the ground
