It's a mean engineerman

But the fireman is really good

It's a mean engineerman

But the fireman is really good

Has taken my baby

An I can't stay in this neighborhood



Sometime, it make me feel like travelin'

People, from place to place

Sometime, it makes me feel like travelin'

People, from place to place

An I'm wondering if I will ever

See my baby's face



Engineerman, engineerman

I hope your train will jump the track

Engineerman, engineerman

I hope your train will jump the track

'Ah, play it for me'

You's a dirty mistreater

Won't bring my baby back



I hear the train whistle blowin'

An it really does worry me

I hear the train whistle blowin'

An it really does worry me

It has got me all upset

An no peace can I see



I love you, baby

But I have almost give you up

I love you, baby

But I have almost give you up

You have treated me dirty

But I hope you all the luck.
