Jonny was a steam Engine driver
He knew his way around like a spider
Through dark tunnels
He would ride her
Oh Jonny you won't ride no more
Lay down that old track
Don't stop to sleep, don't look back
Rest will come when you're off the clock
Jonny you've still got a long long way to ride
That steam train whistle's gonna find ya
On your back lying with the sleepers they will bind ya
But you didn't see something black move like a creeper
Snake bit Jonny like the grim reaper
Oh Jonny come back down the tunnel
Jonny, Jonny
Oh Jonny come down the tunnel again
On your slow steam train
On your slow steam train
Jonny come round again
Jonny saw the shadow of an eagle
Come down out the sky, it wasn't legal
And on his ankle lay a beagle
But he'll never ride the train again
Lay down that steam train track
Lay down the sleepers on their backs
Come make it narrow gauge
Just pay him his darn wage
He's got smoke in his eyes turning black
So lay down your pick and your axe
Lay down your word and your tax
We've paid you enough
With our blood and toil it was tough
And you sure didn't help with throwing jacks
Lay down your spade and your ace
We can't dig your maid and her face
She's carrying a water bucket through tunnel hill
That's the place that she came when Jack met Jill
