Steam train steam train,
What’s your number what’s your name,
Collecting trains, a fine game,
I’ve got more than you.
Waiting for the Arpley train,
On the road to Cheadle,
Saw the local passing by,
Pop goes the diesel.

(Trainspotters’ voices…)

I’ve got a Cornish.
I’ve got a Lancastrian.
I’ve got the Prince of Wales.
My Dad’s a railwayman.

Steam train, steam train,
There goes a Super D,

Class A’s an express passenger train,
B’s an ordinary passenger train,
C’s an express once again,
Just for carrying parcels.

H is freight that travels slow,
K’s a local train that goes
Between the local stations.

Steam train, steam train,
Carry me away with you,
Steam train, steam train,
Going to be a driver.

Going to be a driver.

I don’t know whether, if it’s in my blood or not because I, I… I remember when I were quite a bit of
a kid I used to go on the iron bridge there watching them until… course I were lucky you see in them
days they only used to have a couple o’ lads at 14 in this yard…

The joint of the driver’s steam brake pipe
Began to sweat a little,
By the time they were halfway up the hill
It was coming in a steady trickle.

As we were climbing up the bank, again this faint wisp of steam came from the union nut joint. So
we bound it with a couple of rags we got, er, we was going again like for… got about halfway up the
bank and then er, it came up in a spiral and we both came across having a look, like…
