G7 C
[Verso 1]
My ears do ring and my heart does sing
When a steam train whistle blows
And anywhere that train is bound
It's there I too would go
I had a dream the other night
Interrupted by this sound
It was the whistle of a southbound freight
Rolling through my old hometown
I pinched myself, yeah, still alive
And hearing what I heard
There was one toot and then another
And then, by gosh, a third
They echoed through my mind
Just like a childhood memory
The dreamy call of an iron horse
Was reaching out to me
F
I know I'm dreaming
But could it really be?
C F
It started seeming
That train was there for me
[Verso 2]
That choo-choo chugged through a foggy mist
And stopped right where I stood
I'd hop inside that locomotive
G7 C
If I only could
But this I knew was nothing more
Than a wishful little dream
That toot and choo-choo couldn't really
G7 C
Be what it had seemed
But then, a dapper man walked up
And tipped his hat to me
Well, in my sleepy state, I wondered
G7 C
Who this man could be
He said he came to give my dream
A special nice reward
And with a smile upon his face
He bellowed, "All aboard!"
F
Was this for real
Or just a fantasy?
C F
"Wow, what a deal!"
I shouted out with glee
[Verso 3]
I climbed inside the cabin
Took a look at all the stuff
And then I felt that choo-choo train
Begin to huff and puff
Well, in my dream, a red bandana
C G7
Fluttered from my neck
And over my shoulder, there was a cord
And I figured, "What the heck?"
I wrapped my fingers 'round that cord
And slowly pulled it down
And as I did, I heard that
Sweet and old familiar sound
With that, the locomotive started
C G7
Chugging down the rails
I gave that cord another tug
I listened to the wail
F
I made it whistle
Yes, I'm an engineer
C F
Give it a listen
And tell me what you hear
[Verso 4]
The old conductor looked at me
And tipped his hat once more
He told me it was time to leave
And he vanished in a roar
C F
Yes, dreams, alas, must always end
For every girl and boy
I was rustled from my slumber
By a muffled rumbling noise
I wiped the sleep dust from my eyes
And listened closely to
The clear refrain of a distant train
And a plaintive "woo-woo-woo!"
There's just one thing about that sound
That made me think that day
The closest railroad tracks to me
Are many miles away
F
I got to fearing
That this was still a dream
C F
What I was hearing
Was not what it might seem
[Verso 5]
But soon, I heard another whistle
G7 C
Hooting in the night
I went to my window and looked outside
To see a wondrous sight
Up in the dark but moonlit sky
Beneath a thousand stars
A big black locomotive pulled
A hundred railroad cars
C F
White puffs of smoke rose from the stack
And I can faintly see
That old conductor looking down
And he tipped his hat to me
When in a wink, he vanished
In a trail of shiny steam
I rubbed my eyes and realized
That this was not a dream
F
I made it whistle
Yes, I'm an engineer
C F
Give it a listen
And tell me what you hear
