View from a hilltop, shady canvas sky
High above the countryside
Far from the workin' day (x2)
See the little people going off to work in the rain
They did a share of work and we see them coming back again
And train keeps rollin' by, the trains keep rollin' by
Like trains keep rollin' by, keep rollin, oh
Trains keep rollin' by, keeps rollin' on
View from a hilltop, sleepy mining town
Shade of a blackbird, high above the gorund
In a sleepy mining town
It's a mystery to the city man
Like a little stone inside your hand, inside your hand
See the little people going off to work in the rain
Oh, they do their share of work and we see them coming back again
See the little people going by
Trains keep rollin' by, keep rollin', ah (x2)
Trains keep rollin' by
