I'll keep pulling on the towpath
You keep floating on the river
Yeah, until the day is done
Keep on keeping on the low road,
Chesapeake and Ohio
Because on the higher ground you will find
Elephant Riders to the northwest bring news from father
Looking like it's always closing,
the Salty Dog is always open
Here, I got an IOU
Clickity clack clack, clickity clack clack,
Baltimore and Ohio,
Clickity clack clack, clickity clack clack,
roll on, roll on
On our way to Washington where work is done by men with gavels,
I heard a sound that just about removed me from my filly's saddle
Just outside of Antietam, where once there was a mighty battle,
I heard the rhythm of the hammers beating the rail lines together
Elephant Riders to the northwest bring news from father
Don't be eating all the hard tack
Between we two there's half a small sack
Still, we got miles to
Giddy up pony, Giddy up pony,
Camptown Race is five miles long
Giddy up pony, Giddy up pony,
ride on, ride on
On our way to Washington where work is done by men with gavels,
I heard a sound that just about removed me from my filly's saddle
Just outside of Antietam, where once there was a mighty battle,
I heard the rhythm of the hammers beating the rail lines together
Elephant Riders to the northwest bring news from father
Elephant Riders to the northwest bring news of battle
