Long train comin', comin' down the track
Long train comin', hear that clickety clack
See that long train comin' 'round the bend
I haven't seen that long train since I don't know when
I used to watch those trains go by when I was just a boy
The sound of that old whistle filled my heart with joy
Grandpa was an engineer on the New York Central Line
Waivin' from that diesel I thought he looked mighty fine
Long train comin', comin' down the track
Long train comin', hear that clickety clack
See that long train comin' 'round the bend
I haven't seen that long train since I don't know when
Grandpa's grandad brought the first engine into town
The only locomotive to be seen from miles around
Opened up the Southern Tier, brought industry and trade
One man had a vision and history was made
Alright
ย
Now my grandpa's gone, but his legacy remains
I've got a coupl'a grandsons who love to play with trains
Railroad tracks and railroad cars and wooden whistles, too
And when they want train stories, Gramps, I'll tell them about you
Yes, when they want train stories, Gramps, I'll
Tell them about you
