Eric Woolfson - Train to Wuxi lyrics

rate me

A tin mine boss

Was making lots of money

Making lots of money

In a tin mine town

A tin mine boss

Was feeling kinda funny

Something kept coming round and going round

Cos if the tin run out

Gonna be in trouble

(Gonna be in trouble if the tin run out)

And if the tin run out

Won't it be a pity

Gonna have to call the place no tin city

Woo woo

We're on the train to Wuxi

Woo woo

Going back to Wuxi

Woo woo

We're on the train to Wuxi

We don't know how far to take it but we'll make it or we'll break it

Someday

Someday

The engineer said gotta keep the wheels turning

Keep the fire burning like an engineer should

The engineer tried to keep the motor running

Just a steaming and a shoveling water and wood

If the creek run dry

When d'ya get your water

If the tree don't grow

Where d'ya get the wood

If the fish don't bite

How you gonna feed 'em

I guess it's time to move on but that's no good

Woo woo

We're on the train to Wuxi

Woo woo

On our way to Wuxi

Woo woo

All the way to Wuxi

And we might be going nowhere but we won't know till we get there

Woo woo

We're on the train to Wuxi

Woo woo

Going back to Wuxi

Woo woo

We're on the train to Wuxi

We don't know how far to take it but we'll make it or we'll break it

Someday

Someday

Good Time Joe was having quite a party

Having quite a party with a good time crowd

Good time Joe was drinking lots of whiskey

Lots and lots of whiskey when the news got out

Then the tin ran out

The mine stopped working

The creek run dry and the trees don't grow

When the booze ran out

He really got a problem

Well how's he gonna call himself 'Good Time Joe'

Woo woo

We're on the train to Wuxi

Woo woo

On our way to Wuxi

Woo woo

All the way to Wuxi

And we might be going nowhere but we won't know till we get there

Woo woo

Woo woo

Woo woo

Woo woo

We're on the train to Wuxi

Woo woo

On our way to Wuxi

Woo woo

We're on the train to Wuxi

We don't know how far to take it but we'll make it or we'll break it

Someday

Someday
