Mr. Engineer Songtext

von Tony Rice

(IV) Engineer reach (V) up and pull the (I) whistle
Let me (IV) hear that (V) lonesome (I) sound
For it (IV) blends with the (V) feeling that's (I) in me
The one I (IV) loved has (V) turned me (I) down

I'm gonna catch me a freight train
Lord I'm leaving this lonesome town
The one I loved and gave my heart to
For someone else she turned me down

Engineer reach up and pull the whistle
Let me hear that lonesome sound
For it blends with the feeling that's in me
The one I loved has turned me down

Break
Break - fiddle

There's sixteen cars behind each engine
I'll ride the last one till the end of the line
I don't know where I'll go or where I'll wind up
Just anything to ease my worried mind

Engineer reach up and pull the whistle
Let me hear that lonesome sound
For it blends with the feeling that's in me
The one I loved has turned me down
