Johnny Horton Coal, Smoke, Valve Oil And Steam Lyrics

Coal, Smoke, Valve Oil And Steam lyrics

Refrain:
Coal, smoke, valve oil and steam
My heart is sad, I'm living in dreams
I can't tell why I love the smell
Of coal, smoke, valve oil and steam

I worked for the railroad all of my life
To make a home, for my Darlin' wife
But now, I'm retired and feelin' so low
Weary and tired with a heart full of woe

Refrain:

I pull on the whistle to clear the line
(From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/j/johnny-horton-lyrics/coal,-smoke,-valve-oil-and-steam-lyrics.html)
And to bring that Fireball in on time
Oh time in your life, please take me back
Let me hear the driver's click again on the track

Refrain:

A short forty years went flyin' on by
Now I'm so lonesome, I could die
If I find heaven, the way I've been told
I'll go an engine down a track made of gold

Refrain:
