lirik lagu james keelaghan – railway tune
[verse 1]
well my name is bob, i’m my father’s son
i hauled freight for the cpr
i ain’t never seen a day of the seventh grade
half~amazed that i made it that far
but they held no joy for a wayward boy
who wouldn’t come in from out of the rain
and she wouldn’t be amazed that i’d end my days
on a runaway railway train
[verse 2]
so we was haulin’ ass up at rogers pass
laying line for the cp main
but a fool for romance i just jumped at the chance
for the fireman’s job on the train
was taking cannel coal off a 4~4~0
beats the h~ll out of packing rail
but i didn’t know it then i’d be packing right in
on a railway destruction tale
[chorus]
see it ain’t just the money
it takes your feet honey
and a feeling that i can’t explain
but i wouldn’t be amazed to end my days
on a runaway railway train
[verse 3]
it was early spring, about 1910
that my chance to meet the maker came
when we started to slide on the bc side
of the pass in the pouring rain
well no brakes and no traction just equal reaction
on a h~ll~bound bullet of steel
i ain’t never been stampeded or been false treated
but i’d know how that’d feels
[chorus]
see it ain’t just the money
it sets your feet honey
and a feeling that i can’t explain
but i wouldn’t be amazed to end my days
on a runaway railway train
[instrumental]
[verse 4]
well as you surmise, you know i didn’t die
or i wouldn’t be singing this song
but when we jumped the tracks with a thunderbolt crack
i’ve seen days that haven’t lasted that long
cut a burning streak down to k4 creek
and when it all was said and done
we were up to our necks in the river and the wreck
and laughing like a son~of~a~gun
[chorus]
see it ain’t just the money
it takes your feet honey
and a feeling that i can’t explain
but i wouldn’t be amazed to end my days
on a runaway railway train
see it ain’t just the money
it takes your feet honey
and a feeling that i can’t explain
but i wouldn’t be amazed to end my days
on a runaway railway train
no i wouldn’t be amazed to end my days
on a runaway railway train
