[02:31.00]Coal, smoke, valve oil and steam
[02:31.00]My heart is sad, I'm living in dreams
[02:31.00]I can't tell why I love the smell
[02:31.00]Of coal, smoke, valve oil and steam

[02:31.00]I worked for the railroad all of my life
[02:31.00]To make a home, for my Darlin' wife

[02:31.00]Refrain:
[02:31.00]
[02:31.00]I pull on the whistle to clear the line
[02:31.00]And to bring that Fireball in on time
