Empire State Express
Lyricist:House Eddie J Jr
I went down to the station Leaned against the door Went down to the station Leaned against the door I knew it was the Empire State 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 rolling ingest, baby On the New York Central line
It was a mean ol' fireman And a low down engineer It was a cruel fireman And a low down engineer That took my woman away And left me standing here Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
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 That 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
