Smoke Stack Lightning

Wooòt woooo
Wooot  woooo

Hear my train comin'  watch the
Hope spew from that smokestack 
Oh watch that locomotion  comin'
Round the curve 

Wooot  woooo she got nerve
See that smokestack  shinnin'
Brightly  like a BOLT OF LIGHTNIN'
STRICKIN'!  listen to her singin'  on
The track  
I'm  boardin' the 1137 to 
New York  City  keep your self 
Pretty  'til I get back 

I'm tellin'  you like it is  tellin'  you
Where it's  at  there ain't  gonna be
No change in me only charm 
listen to my train

Pullin'  in, look at  that  solid  gold
Smokestack  the engine too see the 
Moon Beamin' brimmin' with  love 
For this locomotive 

Don't  cry I'll  be back one day 
Ridin'  this bright  new train  I'm 
Goin'  all the way yeah! look at that 
Smoke risin'
Here i come New York  City!

I'm comin'  to play at the COTTON.
Sprinklin'  trumpet  notes everywhere I go

Shinnin'  Brightly such like a bolt of
Lightnin' strikin'!
That's the smokestack Jack
Look at that baby function 
Woooot  woooo 
Bye bye New  Orleans 

Farewell bay bee  Farewell 
And all that  Jazz!
Woooot woooo

I remember the trains of yesteryear running down the main lines. The old locomotives ran on coal and as they passed would give a honk or a woo woo as they went by. love phyl
