Terry Allen - Galleria Dele Armi lyrics

During the time of the second World War

A small town in Italy

Death

Came

Aboard

Train number 8017

It wasn抰 strafing of bombing

Clandestine de-railings

It was just

Some bad coal

The stockyard was sellingClimb aboard everybody

To Galleria dele Armi

Train 8017 to hell of to heaven

Train 8017 climb aboard

All the allied forces

Shut down the town

Made rich men and poor men

The same

poor

So they hid

In the night

Shivered

Til the 8017 came

Their families were starving

In the village of Bovano

They had to break

The rules

Just to try

To find food

Climb aboard everybody

To Galleria dele Armi

Train 8017 to hell of to heaven

Train 8017 climb aboard

Just through the mountains

Is Galleria dele Armi

A rich valley so fertile

And full

And only one train can get there

there抯 only one tunnel

To pass throughBut the train

It stopped

In the middle

Of the tunnel

And smoke

From bad coal

Turned black

The 500

From Bovano

Who hungered

But died

Before

They got through

Climb aboard everybody

To Galleria dele Armi

Train 8017

Train 8017 climb aboard

During the time of the second World War

A small town in Italy

Death

Came

Aboard
