Oh I’d go back on the L&amp;N and on the Southern too If I only had my way again I would ride that Seaboard Airline and Atlantic Coastline too You would never hear me grumble or complain I would ride that Georgia Southern and Florida railroad line The Swanee River Route they called it too I would travel down from Macon over to St Augustine By the great Atlantic Ocean waves so blue
