Testo Railwayman - John Williamson
Testo della canzone Railwayman (John Williamson), tratta dall'album The Way It Is
When Laurie was a boy
He wanted to drive a train
Through the tunnel, over the hill
Around and back again
He'd toot all the folks
All the way along the track
Grandpa and Grandma, Mom and Dad
And all the kids waving back
Yeah, Laurie is a railway man
A steam crazy railway man
And when you're a railway man
You're always a railway man
His father was a cook
For the SAR
Remember those pies
In the buffet car?
With the soot going by
Keep the windows right down
A nice cup of tea
While you're cruising through town
His dad was a railway man
Through and through
The old man before him
Was a driver too
Yeah, Granddad was a railway man
A steam crazy railway man
And when you're a railway man
You're always a railway man
Some engines had names
Like Slippery Kate
She would lose her grip
And make the train run late
She was a 507
And there was Mickey too
That's Mickey for short
And Mercado to you
Yeah, some of them were dogs
Some of them were rough
Some would steam freely
And some would lose their puff
But all steam trains
Go till they drop
So watch out you camels
They're bloody hard to stop!
Yeah, Laurie is a railway man
A steam crazy railway man
And once you're a railway man
You're always a railway man
Yeah, Laurie is a railway man
A steam crazy railway man
And when you're a railway man
You're always a railway man
You're always a railway man
A steam crazy railway man
