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

Steam train blues
