Текст песни The Freedom Train (Johnny Mercer) с переводом

This song is a train song, it’s a song about a train

Not the Atchison, Topeka, not the Chattanooga Choo-Choo

Nor the one that leaves at midnight for the state of Alabam'

This song is a train song where the engineer is Uncle Sam

Here comes the Freedom Train

You better hurry down

Just like a Paul Revere

It’s comin’into your home town

Inside the freedom train

You’ll find a precious freight

Those words of liberty

The documents that made us great

You can shout your anger from a steeple

You can shoot the system full of holes

You can always question «We the People»

You can get your answer at the polls

That’s how it’s always been

And how it will remain

So long as all of us Keep riding on the Freedom Train

You can write the President a letter

You can even tell him to his face

If you think that you can do it better

Get the votes and you can take his place

You can hate the laws that you’re obeying

You can shout your anger to the crowd

We may disagree with what you’re saying

But we’ll fight to let you say it loud
