Linda Ronstadt - Life Is Like a Mountain Railway Lyrics

Traditonal, arranged by Elliot Mazer & Linda Ronstadt

Accompanied by the Beechwood Rangers



Life is like a mountain railway

With an engineer that's brave

We must make the run successful

From the cradle to the grave



Heed the curves and watch the tunnels

Never falter, never fail

Keep your hands upon the throttle

And your eye upon the rail



Blessed Saviour there to guide us

Till we reach that blissful shore

And the angels there to join us

In God's grace forevermore



As you roll across the trestle

Spanning Jordan's swelling tide

You will reach the Union Depot

Into which your train will ride



There you'll meet the superintendent

God the father, God the son

With a happy joyous greeting

Weary pilgrim, welcome home



Blessed Saviour there to guide us

Till we reach that blissful shore

And the angels there to join us

In God's grace forevermore



In God's grace forevermore
