Johnny Horton Lyrics
Coal, Smoke, Valve Oil and Steam Lyrics
(Robison, Martin, Tennant)
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:
-Solo-
