[Delmar & Pete]

[Delmar & Pete]
The place where he was born and raised
[Verse 2: Ulysses Everett McGill]

[Delmar & Pete]

For I'm bound to ride that Northern Railroad

[Delmar & Pete]

[Delmar & Pete]

[Verse 5: Ulysses Everett McGill]
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you never will see no more
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore
[Delmar & Pete]
He'll meet you on God's golden shore
