Where does an old time river man go after he's passed away? Does his soul still keep a watch on the deep For the rest of the river days? Does he then come back as a channel cat Or the wasps that light on the wheel? Or the birds that fly through a summer sky Or the fish swimming under the keel? Where does an old time pilot go after he's stood his last watch? Does he fall by the ear of the man who steers Saying hold her on that notch There's a gentle sneeze in the river breeze Saying son i'm goin’ to bed. And they light their pipes and go off in the night Or was that fireflies instead? Where does an old time engineer go after he's cooled her down? Gone up the hill to never come back, on the quiet side of town. Does his soul live on in the engine songs While the striker checks the gears? Is he still afloat on an old steam boat after he's gone from here?Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
