lyrics

Lyrics:

Any day's a good day when there's a steam trip in the plan.
We'll need to shove south and get a signal west on the branch.
"But you'll have 20 cars on the wet rail.
Take a diesel with you; can't have you fail.
Can't have you stalling on Linden Hill today."

We've got a dome full of sand so don't worry about us ma'am.
She's the queen of steam and she won't get you into a jam.
"Well if you really know she will
with all that tonnage still climb that hill...
Signal indication; have a safe day."

The defect detector got us in Delaplane.
At the bottom of the hill we stopped and inspected the train.
Going up the hill the drivers started to slip,
but our engineer got 'em to grip.
We were slow but kept 'em movin' on over Linden Hill.
We were slow but kept 'em rollin' on over Linden Hill.
