letra de the fireman's song - don bilston
[verse 1]
whenever you see a train go by
or hear an engine’s whistle cry
think of the man on the old footplate
shoveling coal; the driver’s mate
[chorus]
a loco fireman is me’ grade
boiling water is me’ trade
the driver thinks he runs the show
but if i’m not there, the train won’t go
[verse 2]
feeding coal to a hungry fire
sweating cobs to get steam higher
with the colliers’ harvest that i burn
with sweat and toil and me’ wage is earned
[chorus]
a loco fireman is me’ grade
boiling water is me’ trade
the driver thinks he runs the show
but if i’m not there, the train won’t go
[verse 3]
me’ driver sits there like a god
he’s a decent mate, but an idle sod
oh, i’ll be shoveling on me’ knees
still he’d sit there at his ease
[chorus]
a loco fireman is me’ grade
boiling water is me’ trade
the driver thinks he runs the show
but if i’m not there, the train won’t go
[verse 4]
a pick and a shovel are the tools of me’ trade
and two strong arms to swing the blade
hands with palms as hard as leather
and nimble feet as light as a feather
[chorus]
a loco fireman is me’ grade
boiling water is me’ trade
the driver thinks he runs the show
but if i’m not there, the train won’t go
[verse 5]
one day a driver i will be
of the pick and shovel i’ll be free
until that day, i’ll shift the coal
raising steam so the train can roll
[chorus]
a loco fireman is me’ grade
boiling water is me’ trade
the driver thinks he runs the show
but if i’m not there, the train won’t go
