I went down to the station

I leaned up against the door

Yeah, I went down to the station

I leaned up against the door

I said good-bye to my sweet, ride on

I said now, she couldn't use me no more



It was a mean old fireman

And a cruel old engineer

He was a mean old fireman

And a cruel old engineer

Yes, takin' way my sweet woman

And left me standing here



break:



I used to roll my baby

Till she - was forced to jump and shout

I used to roll my sweet baby

Till she was forced to jump and shout

Now that train pulls in boys

And I'll come walkin out



I heard the fireman blow the whistle

And the engineer ring the bell

I heard the fireman blow the whistle

And engineer ring the bell

I knew it was time boys

To - bid my baby farewell

um
