Engenheiro Maluco

The black smoke stack was barking the steam made them pistons groan

And behind that screaming whistle you could hear that engine moan

The train was reeling and rocking the passangers were screaming with fear

For the train was being driven by a crazy engineer.

I'm driving this engine up to the moon

He laughed as the train sped on

Then from the lips of the mad man came

A crazy railroad song.

--- Instrumental ---

Then out from the blind crept Hobo Bill he was stealing a ride that day

I've rode the blinds on many a train they never traveled this way

He climbed over the bend into the engine cab those passangers lives to save

Then while he fought with the mad man his weary life he gave.

(Poor Bill spoke in a whisper

This was all they could hear)

I've rode my last railroad ride

With a crazy engineer...

A chaminé preta estava gritando, o vapor fazia os pistões gemer

E atrás daquele apito ensurdecedor, você podia ouvir o motor gemer

O trem balançava e sacudia, os passageiros gritavam de medo

Pois o trem estava sendo conduzido por um engenheiro maluco.

Estou levando essa locomotiva até a lua

Ele ria enquanto o trem acelerava

Então dos lábios do homem louco saiu

Uma canção de trem maluca.

--- Instrumental ---

Então, de repente, apareceu Hobo Bill, ele estava pegando uma carona naquele dia

Eu já peguei carona em muitos trens, mas nunca viajei por aqui

Ele subiu pela curva até a cabine da locomotiva, para salvar a vida daqueles passageiros

Então, enquanto lutava com o homem louco, ele deu sua vida cansada.

(Pobre Bill falou em um sussurro

Isso era tudo que podiam ouvir)

Eu fiz minha última viagem de trem

Com um engenheiro maluco...
