Elephant Riders

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 I O U

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
