The Runaway Train Lyrics & Tabs by The Teddybears
The Runaway Train
guitar chords lyrics
It was in the year of eighty-nine, on that old grey wester line
When the winter wind was blowin' shrill
The rails were froze, the wheels were cold,
then the air brakes wouldn't hold
And Number Nine came roaring down the hill.....oooooh!
The runaway train came down the track and she blew
The runaway train came down the track and she blew
The runaway train came down the track,
her whistle wide and her throttle back
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew
The engineer said the train must halt and she blew
The engineer said the train must halt and she blew
The engineer said the train must halt,
he said it was all the fireman's fault
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew
The engineer said the train must halt,
he said it was all the fireman's fault
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew
The fireman said he rang the bell and she blew
The fireman said he rang the bell and she blew
The fireman said he rang the bell,
the engineer said he couldn't tell
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew
The porter got an awful fright and she blew
The porter got an awful fright and she blew
The porter got an awful fright,
he got so scared he near turned white
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew
The conductor said there'd be a wreck and she blew,
The conductor said there'd be a wreck and she blew,
The conductor said there'd be a wreck
and he felt the chills run up his neck
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew
The runaway train went over the hill and she blew
The runaway train went over the hill and she blew
The runaway train went over the hill
and the last we heard she was going still
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew
