I started with a shovel I started with a dream Stoking up the firebox To get a head of steam Coal dust on my hands I had cinders in my eyes I remember mamma waving As the train rolled by
I'm a railroad man I've got steel rails on my mind Got this engine in my blood Got to get on down the line Listen for my whistle And see my headlight shine Got to grab on to that Johnson bar And make those drivers whine
Then one day, that old engine it was mine Had my hand upon the throttle And my eyes on the line Tip my hat to the old-timers That taught me what I know Haul down on that whistle As I haul on down the road
I'm a railroad man I've got steel rails on my mind Got this engine in my blood Got to get on down the line Listen for my whistle And see my headlight shine Got to grab on to that Johnson bar And make those drivers whine
Now the steam trains are gone The way all things have to go I'm driving a big diesel now And hauling iron ore Hauling timber, hauling people To where they have to go All the way from Hudson Bay To the Horth Bay Shore
I'm a railroad man I've got steel rails on my mind Got this engine in my blood Got to get on down the line Listen for my whistle And see my headlight shine Got to grab on to that Johnson bar And make those drivers whine
