Lyrics:
Now, repeat the chorus, here we go
Comin' from the mountains, across the Northern plains
It's off to California,
Then back again to Maine
Singin' a song that you all know,
Then let your voices go
So sing it out, my
Brothers, wherever we may go
Comin' from the mountains, across the Northern plains
It's off to California,
Then back again to Maine
Singin' a song that you all know,
Then let your voices go
So sing it out, my
Brothers, wherever we may go
Portland Maine is just the same as sunny Tennessee
Portland Maine is just the same as sunny Tennessee
Any old place I hang my hat is home sweet home to me
I went to the depot and looked up on the board
I went to the depot and looked up on the board
It says it's good times here but it's better on down the road
I'll eat my breakfast here get my dinner in New Orleans
I'll eat my breakfast here get my dinner in New Orleans
I'm gonna get me a mama Lord I ain't never seen
Where was you mama when the train left the shed
Where was you mama when the train left the shed
Standing in my front door wishing you've gone I was dead
When I asked her if she'd hurry up and answer,
She didn't tell me, she let me guess,
So here we go to Buffalo or maybe Maine or Kokomo,
Here comes the bride, she said yes.
When I asked her if she'd hurry up and please answer,
She didn't tell me, she let me guess,
So here we go to Buffalo or maybe Maine or Kokomo,
Here comes the bride, she didn't say maybe,
Here comes the bride, she said yes.
All right
I've been thumbin' rides travellin' light
Walked the streets till past midnight
Trampin' roads, trails and lanes
Scaling cliffs fields and plains
Searchin' till the early dawn
For that long legged girl with the short dress on
Riding trucks, bikes and skis
Sailing lakes and brooks and seas
Driving wagons, cars and jeeps
Walking stilts in ten foot leaps
Searchin' till the early dawn
For that long legged girl with the short dress on
And everywhere I go she's been and gone
She's fine, it's just too bad she's the travellin' kind
So fine, I just can't rest till I make her mine
I've been from Maine to Tennessee, Mexico from Wahkiki
Rain or shine, sleet or snow
Searchin' high, searchin' low
Everything depends upon
That long legged girl with the short dress on
She's fine, it's just too bad she's the travellin' kind
So fine, I just can't rest till I make her mine
I've been from Maine to Tennessee, Mexico from Wahkiki
Rain or shine, sleet or snow
Searchin' high, searchin' low
Everything depends upon
That long legged girl with the short dress on
The long legged girl with the short dress on
We oughta be ashamed
We oughta be ashamed
We use and abuse such a wonderful name
See the blooming of the flowers
When the spring first appears
Hear the crying of the baby
In its first tender years
Watch the flight of the robin
When he knows winter's through
And the One who made that Robin
Is somewhere watching you
So we oughta be ashamed
We oughta be ashamed
We use and abuse such a wonderful name
Look at the beauty that's all around us
From California to Maine
Then we think how we mistreat it
Oh, we oughta be ashamed
Watch the people pass the beggar
On the street as he cries
"Pencils for a nickel"
Still they pass him by
See the rich man with all his money
Ah, but still he complains
Smell the flowing of all the whiskey
Lord, we oughta be ashamed
We oughta be ashamed
We oughta be ashamed
We use and abuse such a wonderful name
And the beauty's all around us
From California to Maine
Oh, we think how He's mistreated
We oughta be ashamed
And think how we mistreat Him
Lord, we oughta be ashamed
Ain't gonna worry where you are, who you're with
Let's just agree, this is it
Portland, Maine, I don't know where that is
Leave your bags in the car, keep it running
I won't pretend, I don't want these things
But Portland, Maine, I don't know where that is
And I don't want to know, I don't want to know
See I'm just saving us some trouble somewhere down the line
This kind of town you just leave behind
And you don't know it yet, but you won't come back
And I ain't going nowhere and you know that
Portland, Maine, I don't know where that is
Leave your bags in the car, keep it running
I won't pretend, I don't want these things
But Portland, Maine, I don't know where that is
And you can go ahead and hate me, that's just fine
It doesn't matter either way, I'm right
Portland, Maine, I don't know where that is
Leave your bags in the car, keep it running
I won't pretend, I don't want these things
But Portland, Maine, I don't know where that is
Portland, Maine, I don't know where that is
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
Portland, Maine
I don't know where that is
(I've loved you all over the world)
I've loved you all over the world in every place I've been you were with me and then
There never was anyone but you sweet girl I've loved you all over the world
You still share my pillow each night pressed so close to me sharing each memory
You still keep my mind in the world sweet girl I've loved you all over the world
Carolina Virginia California to Maine from New York to Texas the feeling remains
City sidewalks and each country road sweet girl I've loved you all over the world
(I've loved you all over the world)
Carolina Virginia California to Maine
I've loved you all over the world sweet girl
We oughta be ashamed
We oughta be ashamed
We use and abuse such a wonderful name
See the blooming of the flowers
When the spring first appears
Hear the crying of the baby
In its first tender years
Watch the flight of the robin
When he knows winter's through
And the One who made that Robin
Is somewhere watching you
So we oughta be ashamed
We oughta be ashamed
We use and abuse such a wonderful name
Look at the beauty that's all around us
From California to Maine
Then we think how we mistreat it
Oh, we oughta be ashamed
Watch the people pass the beggar
On the street as he cries
"Pencils for a nickel"
Still they pass him by
See the rich man with all his money
Ah, but still he complains
Smell the flowing of all the whiskey
Lord, we oughta be ashamed
We oughta be ashamed
We oughta be ashamed
We use and abuse such a wonderful name
And the beauty's all around us
From California to Maine
Oh, we think how He's mistreated
We oughta be ashamed
And think how we mistreat Him
Lord, we oughta be ashamed
Added to their thirteen colonies
Tennessee, Vermont, Kentucky
Louisiana and Ohio, Mississippi, Indiana
Alabama, Maine, Missouri
Added Arkansas and Michigan added Florida and Texas
And in Texas five thousand men under Santa Anna
Had crossed the Rio Grande headed for San Antonio
David Crockett left Tennessee with the volunteers headed for San Antonio
At a Spanish mission near San Antonio they met a knife-fighter
And a gambler named Jim Bowie and a Britisher named Travis
A hundred and eighty Americans against five thousand to the death
Ozzie and the Straw.
We're talkin' softball...
From Maine to San Diego.
Talkin' softball...
Mattingly and Canseco.
Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw.
Na Tum Ne Kiya
Na Maine Kiya
Na Tum Ne Kiya
Na Maine Kiya.
Have you heard? The coast of Maine just got caught in a hurricane?
Well did you ever? What a swell party this is!
Have you heard that poor dear Blanche got run down by an avalanche?
Yeah
When I was a little boy back in West Virginia
We lived very close to a railroad track
And I remember I used to dream about them trains
And where they might go
And the people that worked on the trains
And the train made music, it made you feel good
I can remember, sometimes, I could just stand off all by myself
And just get funky listenin' to the train
And I used to pick up a handful of gravels
And throw 'em down on the ground for ties
Yeah, and I'd make up songs, I'd sing
He was a railroad man
Was a railroad man
He was a railroad man
'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train
He rode across the plains
Rode on a fruit freight train
The hauled bananas to Savannah
Wore bandannas made in old Japan
Was a railroad man
He was a railroad man
Was a railroad man
'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train
He used to change his name
To every place he came
Know, his name was Tex when he's in Texas
And Bangor when he went to Maine
And a railroad man
No, he was a railroad man
Was a railroad man
'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train
Used to change his name
To every place he came
You know, his name was Tex when he's in Texas
And Bangor when he went to Maine
Hey, he rode across the plains
Rode on a fruit freight train
They hauled bananas to Savannah
Wore bandannas made in old Japan
And he was a railroad man
He was a railroad man
Was a railroad man
'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train
Used to change his name
You know it was hip to every place he came
His name was Tex when he's in Texas
And Bangor when he went to Maine
Know, he was a good time railroad man
Good time railroad man
Was a railroad man
'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train
Oh yeah
It's alright
Say, you know it's alright
And if you've ever been downtown
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout
You know, he was a good time railroad, road
Good time railroad man
Was a railroad man
'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train
Was hip, he used to change his name
To each and every place he came
Know, his name was Tex when he's in Texas
And Bangor when he went to Maine
Rode across the plains
He rode, he rode on a fruit freight train
They hauled bananas to Savannah
Wre bandannas made in old Japan
Oh, railroad man
A railroad man
A railroad man
Stepped in front of the railroad train
I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge.
Well, I hope that the train
From Caribou Maine
Runs over your new love affair
You walk the floor
From door to door
And pull out your peroxide hair.
The beautiful spacious skies, the amber waves of grain
To the majestic purple mountains above the fruited plain
God did shed His grace from sea to shining sea on you and on me
From Sleepy Hollow mountain country to the swamps of Okefenokee
To Guthrie Oklahoma, to Hibbing Minnesota
To Grants Pass Oregon, to Stone Pipe Wells, California
From Texas to Montana, from California to Maine
In the sunny days the winter snow from Arizona sand
To Cherokee North Carolina, to Tarpen Springs Florida
America, it's time to be refreshed, recalled to memory
God did shed His grace on Thee from sea to shining sea
The land is big the best is free
Sand and surf grass and tree from sea to shining sea
God shed His grace on me
And crown Thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea
I am Kilrain and I'm a fightin' man
And I come from County Clare
And the brits would hang me for a fenian
So I took me leave of there
And I crossed the ocean in the "Arrianne"
The vilest tub afloat
And the captain's brother was a railroad man and he met us at the boat
So I joined up with the 20th Maine
Like I said my friend I'm a fighting man
And we're marchin' south in the pouring rain
And we're all goin' down to dixieland
I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine
And we fight for Chamberlain
'Cause he stood right with us
When the johnnies came like a banshee on the wind
When the smoke cleared out of Gettysburg many a mother wept
For many a good boy died there, sure
And the air smelted just like death
[Chorus]
I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine
And I'd march to hell and back again
For colonel Joshua Chamberlain
We're all goin' down to dixieland
I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine
And I damn all gentlemen
Whose only worth is their father's name
And the sweat of a workin' man
Well we come from the farms
And the city streets and a hundred foreign lands
And we spilled our blood in the battle's heat
Now we're all Americans
[Chorus]
Sometimes I want to pack it all up
Get on a bus and move to Vermont
Or Maine or any of those states back east
That I remember...
Sometimes I wanna go back to school
An east coast college with some history
I'd be satisfied I know in the simple things
Longtime sunshine
Longtime sunshine upon me
Sometimes I want to build a house
With a wood stove or a fire place
In the middle of the livingroom
An old piano...
Kahte Hai Log Sharifo Ko Badnam Tbayaf Karti Hai
Jo Kam Nahi Sab Kar Sakte Wo Kam Tbayaf Karti Hai

Have you heard? The coast of Maine just got caught in a hurricane?

Rich man, poor man, thief
Doctor lawyer, chief
Feel a feeling that they can't ignore
It plays a part
In ev'ry heart
And ev'ry hearts is shouting encore
Love is sweeping the country
Waves are hugging the shore
All the sexes
From Maine to Texas
Have never known such love before
See them billing and cooing
Like the birdies above
Each girl and boy alike
Sharing joy alike
Feels that passion'll
Soon be national
Love is sweeping the country
There never was so much love
Love is sweeping the country
Waves are hugging the shore
All the sexes
From Maine to Texas
Have never known such love before
See them billing and cooing
Like the birdies above
Each girl and boy alike
Sharing joy alike
Feels that passion'll
Soon be national
Love is sweeping the country
There never was so much love
Spring is in the air
Each mortal loves his neighbor
Who's that loving pair?
Travelin' down this lonesome railroad Silver Ribbons with no ends
A million miles a cross, ties mark a million miles I've been
I've picked peaches down in Georgia apples up in Maine
Pulled cotton out in Texas ridin' on the train
I was just a lad of seventeen my daddy turned me loose
Silver Ribbons callin' me engine and caboose
I can't recall my mother she left when I was two
Brunets blondes and red heads were the only love I knew
Don't ask me where I'm going don't ask me where I've been
Those Silver Ribbons will take me there there and back again
One more time back again
Travelin' to the tune of freight wheels is such a lonely sound
Hear that lonesome whistle blow as leavin' another town
I wish someone was waitin' somewhere to welcome me
Then those Silver Ribbons would see no more of me
Don't ask me where I'm going...
Rich man, poor man, thief
Doctor, lawyer, chief
Feel a feeling that they can`t ignore
It plays a part in every heart
And every heart is shouting, "Encore"
Love is sweeping the country,
Waves are hugging the shore,
All the sexes
From Maine to Texas
Have never known such love before!
See them billing and cooing
Like the birdies above
Each girl and boy alike
Sharing joy alike
Feels that passion` ll
Soon be national!
I like a new Lincoln with all of its class,
I like a martini, and third on the glass,
I'm gonna start living, you wait and see,
Nothing but the best is good enough for me.
I like to eat lobster directly from Maine,
I like to see bullfights in sunny old Spain,
I'm gonna start living, you wait and see,
Nothing but the best is good enough for me.
