Seaboard Airline Rag

[Chorus]
Riding on the seaboard airline, daylight special railway
Where azaleas grow, soft breezes blow
And the sun shines every day
I never will roam from my little old home
No, I never will change my mind
I'll never go up north to Richmond again on the seaboard airline

[Verse 1]
Sitting in the old Belmont hotel, bumming for Nickels and Dimes
Just a-watching the girls walk to-and-fro
On the sunny, southern climb
New York newspaper in my hand, the latest word they say
To the ice and snow I never will go
No never will stray away

[Chorus]
Riding on the seaboard airline, daylight special railway
Where azaleas grow, soft breezes blow
And the sun shines every day
I never will roam from my little old home
No, I never will change my mind
I'll never go up north to Richmond again on the seaboard airline

[Verse 2]
I'll never go back on the rails again, never work that dining car
Where the pullman porters walk up and down
Smoking a cheap cigar
Where the southern moon shines in the south
Through the live oaks far away
Just a-hanging around Savannah town, you'll find me every day

[Chorus]
Riding on the seaboard airline, daylight special railway
Where azaleas grow, soft breezes blow
And the sun shines every day
I never will roam from my little old home
No, I never will change my mind
I'll never go up north to Richmond again on the seaboard airline
