Steam train goes so fast Goes so far away I hear that engine sing Listen to what it say Gonna get me on that track Get on board some day Hear that whistle blow She cry out in the night See the flame light a smokestack Such a beautiful sight She tell me she going somewhere And everything going to be alright Steam train blues She's in the distance now But I still hear her piston roar She's in the distance now But I still hear her piston roar Ain't coming back no more
