Rory Block - Empire State Express lyrics
I went down to the station. . 
 Leaned against the door, 
 Went down to the station, 
 Leaned against the door 
 I knew it wa the Empire Stae Express, 
 I could tell by the way she blows. 
 I asked the depot agent, 
 "Please let me ride the blinds" 
 Asked the depot agent, 
 "Please let me ride the blinds" 
 He said, "Son, I wouldn't mind 
 .But the Empire State ain't mine" 
 You know that Empire State, 
 She rides on eastern time. 
 That Empire State, 
 Rides on Eastern time, 
 She's the 'rollingingest' baby, 
 On the New York Cental line. 
 It was a mean ol' fireman 
 And a low down engineer. 
 It wa a cruel fieman 
 And a low-down engineer 
 That tok my woman away Rory Block - Empire State Express - http://motolyrics.com/rory-block/empire-state-express-lyrics.html
 And left me standing here. 
 Yes, the engineer blew the whistle, 
 The fireman rang the bell 
 The engineer blew the the whistle, 
 The fireman rang the bell 
 It was a cruel fireman 
 And a low-down engineer 
 Tha t took my woman away 
 And left poor me standing here 
 Yes, the engineer blew the whistle 
 The fireman rang the bell 
 The engineer blew the whistle, 
 The fireman rang the bell. 
 My woman's on board, 
 She's waving me fare-thee-well. 
 I'm gonna tell you 
 What that mean ol' train will do. 
 I'm gonna tell you 
 What that mean ol' train will do. 
 They'll take your woman away 
 And shoot black smoke back at you. 
 They'll take your woman away 
 And shoot black smoke back at you.
