Soul Train - Johnny Reid

Pickett bought me a ticket

When I was just a boy

To the land of a thousand dances

Stole my mama’s pride and joy

And my hands, they ain’t stopped clapping

My toes have been tapping ever since that day

I’ve been rocking and rolling

To the rhythm of an old soul train

Spent all my time and money

Daydreaming spinning 45s

Rode the rails right through Philly

Onto Detroit and down the line

When I pulled into Alabama

I sat with Otis on the Dock of the Bay

We were rocking and rolling

To the rhythm of an old soul train

And the train went

Ooh ooh!

Party’s pulling into town

Ooh ooh!

Best you get up on it now

Ooh ooh!

Take a ride with me

All aboard the old soul train

Yeah, spent some rainy nights in Georgia

Found my thrills up on blueberry hill

I heard the gospel through the grapevine

It always has and it always will

Let the girls go

Ooh ooh!

Party’s pulling into town

Ooh ooh!

Best you get up on it now

Ooh ooh!

Take a ride with me

All aboard the old soul train

Yeah

Come on now

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Clap your hands, eh!

Ooh, ooh, ooh

And the train goes

Ooh ooh!

Party’s pulling into town

Ooh ooh!

Best you get up on it now

Ooh ooh!

Take a ride with me

All aboard the old soul train

Let the train go

Ooh ooh!

Party’s pulling into town

Ooh ooh!

Best you get up on it now

Ooh ooh!

Take a ride with me

All aboard the old soul train

I said all aboard the old soul train

I said all aboard the old soul train

Alright!

Ooh ooh!

Ooh ooh!

Ooh ooh!

All aboard the old soul train

All aboard the old soul train

Ooh ooh!

Ooh ooh!

Ooh ooh!

All aboard the old soul train

Ooh ooh!
