Coal Smoke, Valve Oil and Steel |
| Refrain: |
| 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 Darlin' wife |
| But now, I’m retired and feelin' so low |
| Weary and tired with a heart full of woe |
| Refrain: |
| 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 |
| Refrain: |
| 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 |
| Refrain: |
