Coal Smoke Valve Oil And Steam

歌詞

Coal smoke, valve oil and steam My heart is sad, I'm living in dreams I can't tell why I love the smell Of coal smoke, valve oil and steam I worked for the railroad all of my life To make a home for my darling wife But now I'm retired and feelin' so low Weary and tired with a heart full of woe Coal smoke, valve oil and steam My heart is sad, I'm living in dreams I can't tell why I love the smell Of coal smoke, valve oil and steam I pull on the whistle to clear the line And to bring that Fireball in on time Oh, time in your life please take me back Let me hear the driver's click again on the track Coal smoke, valve oil and steam My heart is sad, I'm living in dreams I can't tell why I love the smell Of coal smoke, valve oil and steam A short forty years went flyin' on by Now I'm so lonesome I could die If I find heaven the way I've been told I'll go an engine down a track made of gold Coal smoke, valve oil and steam My heart is sad, I'm living in dreams I can't tell why I love the smell Of coal smoke, valve oil and steam
