Published by Sandy McIntire (A0.698923).Life is like a mountain railroad was composed in 1890 and continues in popularity with those who love gospel music. It has been recorded through the years by artists like Boxcar Willie, the Carter Family, Bill Monroe, the Chuck Wagon Gang, The Oak Ridge Boys, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, and Brad Paisley. Tillman's tune here is in 3/4 time, but a 4/4 version became popular when Patsy Cline recorded it in 1959. Willie Nelson later dubbed his voice into that version as a duet. In 2010, Western Writers of America chose this tune as one of the Top 100 Western Songs of all time.
This arrangement for Easy Fiddle, Violin, or Mandolin contains chords, bow markings and lyrics. It is also included in McIntire's Mountain Momma Fiddle Tunes. Other tunes in the series include Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Ragtime Annie, and Alabama Jubilee.
