Bobby Horton - Clear the Tracks lyrics

Artist: Bobby Horton

album: Homespun Songs of the Union Army, Volume 2


Ho! the car, Emancipation,
Rides majestic through the nation
Bearing on its train, the story
Liberty! a nation's glory.
Roll it along! Roll it along!
Roll it along! through the nation
Freedom's car, Emancipation
Men of various predilections,
Frightened, run in all directions;
Merchants, editors, physicians,
Lawyers, priests, and politicians.
Get out of the way! Get out of the way!
Get out of the way! every station,
Clear the track for emancipation.
All true friends of emancipation,
Haste to freedom's rail road station;
Quick into the cars get seated,
All is ready, and completed.
Put on the steam! Put on the steam!
Put on the steam! All are crying,
And the liberty flags are flying.
Now, again the bell is tolling,
Soon you'll see the car wheels rolling;
Hinder not their destination,
Chartered for emancipation.
Wood up the fire! Wood up the fire!
Wood up the fire! keep it flashing,
While the train goes onward dashing.
See the people run to meet us;
At the depots thousands greet us;
All take seats with exultation,
In the car, Emancipation.
Huzza! Huzza! Huzza! Huzza!
Huzza! Huzza! Emancipation
Soon will bless our happy nation.
Roll it along! Roll it along!
Roll it along! thro' the nation
Freedom's car, Emancipation.
