Went down to the station, leaned against the door
I went down to the station, leaned against the door
I knew it was the Empire State, I could tell by the way she blowed
Asked the depot agent, please let me ride the rail
Asked the depot agent, please let me ride the rail
He said, "Son, I'd like to help you, but the train sure ain't mine"
You know that Empire State, you know she rides on Eastern time
The Empire State, you know she's ridin' on Eastern time
She's a rollin' baby on the New York Central Line
Engineer blew the whistle and the fireman rang the bell
Engineer blew the whistle and the fireman rang the bell
My baby's on board, she's waving me farewell
I'm gonna tell you what that mean old train will do
I'm gonna tell you what that mean old train will do
Take your woman away and throw black smoke back at you
Take your girl away, shoot black smoke back at you
Mean old fireman and a lowdown engineer
Mean old fireman and a lowdown engineer
Took my baby away and left poor me standin' here
Poor me standin' here, look now
Empire State Express, some old song
Thank you very much!
