Soul Train

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!
