Ghost Train On the Trestle

Post by good4somethingbum » Sun Jul 26, 2009 12:32 pm

Ghost Train On the TrestleDeep within the woods of CarolineMist is thin among the midnight pinesIs that starlight on the railroad steelOr the shimmer glow of haunted wheelsIt casts no reflectionOn the muddy riverWhen the coal car passesEven shadows shiverHalf moons hang the lanternHoot owls are the whistleSteam up to the heavensGhost train on the trestleLong ago a secret northbound trainCarried people from the chill of chainsBullwhip scars across their naked backsAs that engine whispered down the tracksIt casts no reflectionOn the muddy riverWhen the coal car passesEven shadows shiverHalf moons hang the lanternHoot owls are the whistleSteam up to the heavensGhost train on the trestleIt was blues and old field hollersThat soon began to pass the taleSlow train crawlin’ cross the waterAnd dynamite along the railsAnd when slaves rebuilt the river bridgeThey heard freedom ringing from the ridgeCos the darkest track to libertySets a desp’rate soul forever freeIt casts no reflectionOn the muddy riverWhen the coal car passesEven shadows shiverHalf moons hang the lanternHoot owls are the whistleSteam up to the heavensGhost train on the trestle©2009 Robert George
