• Come all you young maidens...

Come all you young maidens, take a warning from me -
Shun all engine drivers and their company.
They’ll tell you they love you and all kinds of lies,
But the one that he loves is the train that he drives.

I once loved a fireman, he said he loved me.
He took me out walking into the country,
He hugged me and kissed me and gazed in my eyes,
And said, You’re as nice as the eight forty-five.

He said ‘My dear Molly, Oh won’t you be mine,
Just give me the signal and let’s clear the line.
My fires are all burning, me steam it is high,
If you don’t take the brake off I think I shall die.’

I told him,Young fellow now don’t make so free,
For no loco fireman shall ever have me -
He’ll hug you and kiss you and when you’re in need
He races away at the top of his speed.

A sailor comes home when the voyage is done.
A soldier gets weary of following the drum.
A collier will cleave to his loved one for life.
But the fireman’s one love is the engine, his wife.
Jack... A very methodical person. Made little diagrams of all the work that was in the links. And all
that sort of thing, everything went in his little book. Everything was recorded that he had, like,
that he did.

John Axon kept a little book
And in it there was written
The class, the type and the number of
Every engine he had driven.

44578… Got his number? 7… 44748.
