Lyrics:
[Chorus: Sara Watkins] Goodbye brother, hello railroad So long, Chicago All these years, thought I was where I ought to be But times are changing This country's growing And I'm bound for San Francisco [Verse 1: Watkins] Oh I've lived through more than I could tell I've sold all that I could sell Finally leaving it behind, goodbye, farewell If it isn't one thing, then it's one thing more If it isn't a fever that shows you the door It's the air, or the water or the goddamn war [Chorus: Watkins/Watkins & Sarah Jarosz/Watkins, Jarosz & Aoife O'Donovan] Goodbye brother, hello railroad So long, Chicago All these years thought I was where I ought to be But times are changing This country's growing And I'm bound for San Francisco [Verse 2: Watkins/Jarosz] Mama died, brother was born Daddy tried but he came up short We were hungry, scared, and needed more How much can a person take? I been working hard since I was eight Got more than my share of years upon my face (Upon my face) [Pre-Chorus: Watkins & O'Donovan/Watkins, Jarosz & O'Donovan] Brother, I've made up my mind Got a ticket on the Union Line I know we'll meet again on the other side [Chorus: Watkins/Watkins, Jarosz & O'Donovan] Goodbye brother, hello railroad So long, Chicago All these years, thought I was where I ought to be But times are changing This country's growing And I'm bound for San Francisco Where a new life waits for me [Chorus: Jarosz & O'Donovan/Watkins, Jarosz & O'Donovan/Watkins] Goodbye brother, hello railroad So long, Chicago All these years, thought I was where I ought to be But times are changing This country's growing And I'm bound for San Francisco Where a new life waits for me
