Nothing but rhythm and rails
A railroad anthem whose rolling groove helped shape generations of folk and rock musicians.

Sorrowful
In perfect tune
The trains sing their late-night aria
Gorgeous and sad
Grieving late at night
In a minor key
”are you ok”
no i want to know your rules and religion and pray that im the exception

Pentangle - Train Song (1969)
With Terry Cox and Danny Thompson as rhythm section, unlike most British folk, Pentangle could really swing. I'll admit that I really don't care for most of Jacqui McShee's vocals, but here we have Bert Jansch on the lead vocal, also weaving his magic guitar with John Renbourn.
Trains are carrying me One and a two, three and a four thousand miles Miles from you
