As recorded by DORIS DAY with Les Brown & His Orch., 20th November 1944: Gonna take a sentimental journey Gonna set my heart at ease Gonna make a sentimental journey To renew old memories Got my bag, got my reservation Spent each dime I could afford Like a child in wild anticipation Long to hear that "All aboard" Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven I'll be waitin' up at heaven Countin' every mile of railroad track That takes me back Never thought my heart could be so yearny Why did I decide to roam Gotta take that sentimental journey Sentimental journey home Sentimental journey! ******************** As recorded by DINAH SHORE: Gonna take a sentimental journey Gonna set my heart at ease Gonna make a sentimental journey To renew old memories (All aboard) Got my bag I got my reservation (All aboard) Spent each dime I could afford (All aboard) Like a child in wild anticipation (All aboard) Long to hear that all aboard Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven I'll be waitin' up for heaven Countin' every mile of railroad track That takes me back Never thought my heart could be so yearny Why did I decide to roam Gonna take a sentimental journey Sentimental journey home I wanna go back home, way down to Nashville Wanna go back home, do you know why I miss the folks I love, Ma's home cookin' Sittin' round the fire at a catfish fry I miss the black eyed peas, mustard greens Candied yams, home baked beans I wanta fill my mouth with southern ham Slip a whiff o' ribs about the kid when I'm back Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven I'll be waitin' up for heaven Countin' every mile of railroad track That takes me back Never thought my heart could be so yearny Why did I decide to roam Gotta take a sentimental journey Sentimental journey home We got the sixteen tons of number nine coal The Rock Island Line is gonna rock and roll Roll, roll, roll Carry me home (All aboard) All aboard!
