《The Original， Original Honky Tonk Night Train Blues》歌词

[00:00:02] I'm the original honky tonk train

[00:00:10] I'm the one that you see

[00:00:11] When you're watching a western

[00:00:14] That's me chugging by

[00:00:18] Of the ones that you see in the films I'm the best

[00:00:20] I’ll tell you why

[00:00:21] Cause no other loco can ever compare

[00:00:23] With the places I’ve been 'cause I’ve been everywhere

[00:00:25] And I never once stopped for a moment of resting

[00:00:28] And if my fire's burning properly the hot air oughta

[00:00:34] Rise and go along a lot of tubes

[00:00:37] That are surrounded by water

[00:00:40] In the boiler till eventually it moves

[00:00:44] On down the engine's aorta

[00:00:48] Out to the funnel where the cloud of smoke exudes

[00:00:51] And now the hot air in the tubes has made

[00:00:53] The water in the boiler turn to steam hot hot hot

[00:00:59] The steam also rises and collects inside

[00:01:01] That large symbolic dome at the top

[00:01:04] Top top

[00:01:06] But if you think that now the steam is

[00:01:08] Just as hot as it is gonna get you're wrong

[00:01:11] Cause it's not not not

[00:01:13] Because this is where the driver opens up

[00:01:17] The regulator valve handle

[00:01:21] The steam becomes alive again

[00:01:24] And goes back through the boiler or can

[00:01:28] Which I call it only

[00:01:30] Cause I’ve a shortage of rhymes ending in an

[00:01:36] So having been through the superheater tubes

[00:01:38] The steam is hotter than ever

[00:01:40] It was before the heat is more

[00:01:42] You may be sure the steam now

[00:01:43] Passes on into the piston cylinder

[00:01:47] And pushes the piston for

[00:01:50] Wards and backwards by means of valves

[00:01:52] Which reciprocate in alternation

[00:01:54] According to simple mechanical law

[00:01:57] The piston then pushes connecting

[00:02:00] Rods fixed to the wheels

[00:02:03] That are set on the rails

[00:02:05] But that's not the end of the story

[00:02:07] Cause then all that steam

[00:02:10] As you will have seen

[00:02:12] Is blown out as exhaust

[00:02:13] Through the funnel whence it can expire

[00:02:16] Thereby increasing the draught of the fire

[00:02:19] So now apart from some rather superfluous detail

[00:02:21] Which doubtless will seem to you

[00:02:22] Obvious hardly worth saying

[00:02:25] The story's over in its basic essentials

[00:02:28] The rest is merely overlaying

[00:02:33] What you can see for yourself quite easily

[00:02:35] Although I would just like to mention the

[00:02:37] Thing on the front that always comes in handy

[00:02:39] When you want to catch cows
