Written by (traditional).         I went down to the station   I leaned up against the door   Yeah, I went down to the station   I leaned up against the door   I said good-bye to my sweet, ride on   I said now, she couldn't use me no more      It was a mean old fireman   And a cruel old engineer   He was a mean old fireman   And a cruel old engineer   Yes, takin' way my sweet woman   And left me standing here      Break:      I used to roll my baby   Till she - was forced to jump and shout   I used to roll my sweet baby   Till she was forced to jump and shout   Now that train pulls in boys   And I'll come walkin out      I heard the fireman blow the whistle   And the engineer ring the bell   I heard the fireman blow the whistle   And engineer ring the bell   I knew it was time boys   To - bid my baby farewell   Um
