In the land of the Ponderosa pine there runs a giant 8-wheeler
   Known as the Big River Train
   Just before she disappears into the forset she passes by a prison
   Where many a convict has dreamed of riding her rails to freedom
   I'd like to tel you a story as it was told to me
   It's called The Legend Of The Big River Train
   Keep that 8-wheel drive a rolling let her lonesome whistle whine
   For it tells the world a story as it whistles through the pines
   In the death car lies a convict with a number for his name
   And he's going home this morning on that old Big River Train
   Well they brought him to this prison twenty years ago this date
   Changed his name into a number then he became my prison mate
   Somehow I knew he wasn't guilty from the very day he came
   Yet they brought him to this prison on that old Big River Train
   We became the best of buddies side by side through thick and thin
   Then one night he told his story how he was framed by evil men
   Men who bought and bribed the jury seeking only selfish gain
   They sent an honest man to prison condemned him to a life of shame
   Many times I've heard him tell me when he'd hear that whistle blow
   That same old train that brought me here pal is gonna take me home I know
   I'll ride it back to my home country and there I'll clear my honest name
   Well they shipped him back this morning on that old Big River Train
   But he's gone to meet his Maker in a land that's bright and new
   Gone to claim a peace and freedom that heaven knows was overdue
   Of a crime he wasn't guilty just a victim of a frame
   Yes he came and now he's leavin' on that old Big River Train
   Yes he's going home this morning on that old Big River Train
