Intro: Travelin down this lonesome railroad Silver Ribbons in my hand A million miles of cross ties Marks a million miles I've been Ive picked peaches down in Georgia, Apples up in Maine Pulled cotton out in Texas Ridin on a Train I was just a lad of seventeen My daddy turned me loose Silver Ribbons callin me Engine and caboose I cant recall my mother She left when I was two Brunettes, blondes and redheads Were the only love I knew Dont ask me where Im going Dont ask me where Ive been Those silver ribbons will take me there There......... and back again One more time....back again...... Traveling to the tune of freight wheels Is such a lonely sound Here that lonesome whistle blow And leave another town I wish someone was waiting Somewhere to welcome me Then those silver ribbons Would see no more of me Dont ask me where Im going Dont ask me where Ive been Those silver ribbons will take me there There......... and back again One more time....back again......
