When I

And he'd wave back at
While the thunderclouds roll
And though I may d
The ties they are
And the tracks shot to
Along with my dr
Workin' din
Or I'd h
With a bla
And the railroads are g
And the coal towns no l
But the train whistle shr
While the thunde
Workin' din
Or I'd h
With a bla
And the railroads are g
And the coal towns no l
But the train whistle shr
While the thunde

tracks on a long summer dA
