Life's Railway

When Mom was a child her Dad's cousin Mae Penman played the piano and all the family sang this song. Mae's husband Frank worked for the railroad. Mae had a pass to ride the train from Westernport to Cumberland and she would take Mom and Mom's sister Margaret with her. The conductor would often return the 25 cent fare to the girls. These were good memories for girls who grew up during the depression.

The song is called "Life's Railway to Heaven":
Life is like a mountain railroad with an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful from the cradle to the grave.

This song is on the latest CD by Brad Paisley and has been recorded by all the country greats. Yet it is older than they are. . .
