The people in the village love to hear that whistle sound

They say roll train roll

The steel and all its rhythm

The red caps got your baggage

Through the kitchen and the den

He keeps her rolling round and round till mama, comes home

Jackie can''''t go out to play, the village needs him there

For miles on down the line.
