Mary Gauthier - Jackie's Train Lyrics
A firehouse, a general store, all the streets are cleanThe people at the depot love to hear that whistle soundAnd they all wave at Jackie when the engine comes around.He says roll train rollThe steel and all its rhythmare sweet music to his soul.You'll be riding safe tonightCome hell or freezing rainThe red caps got your baggageAll Aboard!! Jackies TrainA cow strays from the meadowShe's stranded on the trackJackie's fingers lift her upThen gently put her backthe train chugs on down the lineThrough the kitchen and the denDisappearing under Jackies bedAnd back to town again.Yes its Roll train RollThe steel and all its rhythmare sweet music to his soul.You'll be riding safe tonightCome hell or freezing rainThe red caps got your baggageAll aboard! Jackies trainJackie never stops the train when he's home all aloneHe keeps her rolling round and round till mama, comes homeJackie can't go out to play, the village needs him thereEvery little detail of the train gets all his careGotta keep it rolling, gotta stay on timeWhen he dies they'll honor himFor miles on down the line.Yes its Roll train RollThe steel and all its rhythmare sweet music to his soul.You'll be riding safe tonightCome hell or freezing rainThe red caps got your baggageAll aboard! Jackies train
