Show Vv ENGINEER AND BRAKEMAN Did you ever see and engineer By an engine stand A blank expression on his face An oil can in his hand Come on lets go the brakeman shouts Are you going to stand there all day Been there two hours to oil about i Its time we were on our way. The engineer wipes his hands With a bit of waste, On the engine slowly climbs ! With a scowl upon his face. On the engine he looks around And gives his belt another hitch Blows the whistle, rings the bell, ! Backs up, and kills the switch At last they are all set to go ; And heads into the cars. He hits them with such a slain I The brakeman he saw stars. It didn't make the brakeman yell So back her up a bit If you can't run that jumping goat Why don't you go and quit. The engineer yells you never did a coupling make You had better get a rope Where did you ever learn to brake You are nothing but a dope. So they fight from morn till night As they make their trips to and fro The engineer all swelled up (important like) The brakeman full of woe. Ed Heather |
