Thereaway Lyrics:

Chorus
How'm I gonna get from here to there how'm I gonna get there
How'm I gonna get there I don't care long as I'm a ridin' with you

On the road to Old Minnesota Up the ways down the days gone by
Knowin I be goin by the old road I keep the window open deep in my eye

Chorus
On the road to Old Minnesota Bound tonight for years long back
Put the steamboats back on the river Put the trains back on the track
Let the horses have their rein again Put the horseless carriage in drive
Thereaway we go Come day come go come say goodbye

Chorus
On the old Red River Trail Pembina to new St. Paul
Haul raw skins and buffalo hides 468 miles in all

Leave early May when the grass come up feed the oxen free all the way down
To the depot on the levee to and through the fresh Minnesota towns

A mile away you could hear the wood turn squeak in the wheel
300 carts in a train sometimes you could hear the prairie squeal

Quick throw out a buffalo hide to hide from the night and the rain
We'll lay around loose in St. Paul till we pack to go back again

From his valley they say you are goin
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
But remember the Red River Valley
And the oxcarts that traveled from there
For a good Minnesota while

Chorus
Stagecoach overland four-in-hand rockaway out the Territorial Road
Dogsled iceboat thereaway sleigh winter skim over the snow
In the spring race-of waters come the steamboats to St. Paul
Winona, Reads Landing, Red Wing, Hastings,
Stillwater, Minnesota welcomes one and all

How'm I gonna get from here to there How'm I gonna get there oooouuuu
Take a Fashionable Tour up the Upper Mississippi On the Grand Excursion

Chorus
On the Shakopee 1868 on the Minnesota Valley Road
First train through Twin Cities 1867 to Chicago
Every town and city down at the depot pay and ticket your way
Never knew such a golden era could steam so quick away

Chorus
