The Runaway Train

The Runaway Train came down the track

And she blew

The Runaway Train came down the track

And she blew

The Runaway Train came down the track

Her whistle wide and her throttle back

And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

The engineer said "The train must halt!"

And she blew

The engineer said "The train must halt!"

And she blew

The engineer said "The train must halt!"

He said "It was all the fireman's fault."

And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

The fireman said he rang the bell

And she blew

The fireman said he rang the bell

And she blew

The fireman said he rang the bell

The engineer said "But not that well."

And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

The porter got an awful fright

And she blew

The porter got an awful fright

And she blew

The porter got an awful fright

He got so scared his hair turned white

And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

A mule was standing in the way

And she blew

A mule was standing in the way

And she blew

A mule was standing in the way

And all they found was just his bray

And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

A drummer sat in the parlor car

And she blew

A drummer sat in the parlor car

And she blew

A drummer sat in the parlor car

And he nearly swore at a fat cigar

And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

The conductor said "There'll be a wreck."

And she blew

The conductor said "There'll be a wreck."

And she blew

The conductor said "There'll be a wreck."

He felt the chills run up his neck

And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew

The Runaway Train went over the hill

And she blew

The Runaway Train went over the hill

And she blew

The Runaway Train went over the hill

And the last we heard she was going still

And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew
