| Daddy’s been a railroad man |
| Since he was twenty-one |
| Two yers of Britty ship |
| Beakmen on the Denver run. |
| Thirty he made fireman |
| Thirty-five an engineer |
| Now at sixty-five |
| He’s reached the end of his career. |
| Daddy said he’s glad it’s over |
| But he ain’t foolin' me |
| Last night I overheard him singing |
| This sad old melody. |
| So long train whistle |
| So long hmm-hmm |
| This near generation |
| Has no need for you or I. |
| We both served the nation |
| Long before it learned to fly |
| Nothing last forever |
| Now it’s our turn to die. |
| Lord hear that whistle cry. |
| Daddy’s not the only one |
| The railroad lines are fired |
| And New York Central Limited |
| Long since been retired. |
| The Chief is gone from Santa Fe |
| The SP Lark as well |
| I’m soon to rest to leave the rails |
| Lord only time you tell. |
| I know that you can’t stop progress |
| New things happen every day |
| We gonna mourn that lonely whistle |
| If it finally fades away. |
| So long train whistle. |
| So long hmm-hmm |
| This near generation |
| Has no need for you or I. |
| Mhm mhm hear that whistle cry, mhm mhm… |
