    LYRICS:
    Life is like a mountain railway,
    With an engineer that’s brave;
    We must make the run successful,
    From the cradle to the grave;
    Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels;
    Never falter, never fail;
    Keep your hands upon the throttle,
    And your eyes upon the rail.
    Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us,
    Till we reach that blissful shore,
    Where the angels wait to join us
    In Thy praise forevermore.
    You will roll up grades of trial;
    You will cross the bridge of strife;
    See that Christ is your conductor
    On this lightning train of life;
    Always mindful of obstruction,
    Do your duty, never fail;
    Keep your hands upon the throttle,
    And your eyes upon the rail.
    You will often find obstructions,
    Look for storms and wind and rain;
    On a fill, or curve, or trestle
    They will almost ditch your train;
    Put your trust alone in Jesus,
    Never falter, never fail;
    Keep your hands upon the throttle,
    And your eyes upon the rail.
    As you roll across the trestle,
    Spanning Jordan’s swelling tide,
    You behold the Union Depot
    Into which your train will glide;
    There you’ll meet the Sup’rintendent,
    God the Father, God the Son,
    With the hearty, joyous plaudit,
    “Weary Pilgrim, welcome home.”

    I spent the last 45 years traveling and playing and singing and the last 20 of it doing Gospel Music, the joy of my life. I've been busy until I semi retired a while back and now do my live stream Gospel Music sing along on my youtube channel. So, I'm a little late to the party so to speak as far as keeping up with other singers etc., but you my friend are something! I keep running into your songs on youtube and haven't found a slack one yet. Love your whole band, but don't ever let that fiddle player go. She is special. Her touch on that fiddle and her harmony, second to none!

    This is my dad's favorite song, mainly because he has worked in the railroad industry for 26 years and still going. It is also very relatable to him. He loves this song so much, he made a request for this song to be sung at his funeral when he dies.

    I don't think that Jimmy Fortune has been properly appreciated. A truly great singer, exceptional. And whoa! Did you hear that that guitar solo he just played??

      I love Jimmy fortune, but his solo is fake. Musta had some other guy in the background playing while he was trying to imitate it.

    Life is like a mountain railway, with an engineer that's brave
    We must make the run successful, from the cradle to the grave,
    Heed the curves and hills and tunnels, never falter never fail,
    Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail.
    Blessed Savior, thou will guide us,
    Till we reach that blissful shore,
    Where the angels wait to join us,
    In God's praise for evermore.
    As we roll along the mainline, they'll be storms and they'll be night,
    They'll be sidetracks unexpected, on the left and on the right,
    But with the straight always before us, and our hearts upon the prize,
    They'll be no disembarkation until we reach paradise.
    Blessed Savior, thou will guide us,
    Till we reach that blissful shore,
    Where the angels wait to join us,
    In God's praise for evermore.

    What is Jimmy giving the satanic hand sign at the end of the video about?

    • @rmltperry6163
      @rmltperry6163 Před 7 lety +2

      That sign he makes is ASL (American Sign Language) for "I love you."

    • @robertlucas6745
      @robertlucas6745 Před 6 lety +1

      It's the shorthand way of saying "I love you" in sign language. The long-handed way of saying it is pointing to yourself with the thumb, then placing both palms over the heart, then pointing to your audience.
