Lyrics

Hello engineer,
lend me your ear

I left from hometown, so late at night
The evening trains were rolling toward the station
I waved my tickets when the first one arrived

Hello engineer,
pull yourself near

I walked a mile just to steal a ride
Brother the lines, they are long that are leading
Leading to that front coach
Let that silver whistle blow

Hello engineer,
lend me your ear

Let me spend tonight upon a bed of pine and nails
These open rails are leading to my hometown
I’ll lay my head down,
until those lights arrive
