Generate meaning
1
A long black engine keeps a rolling along
2
It's wheels goin' clickety-clack
3
She's carrying me to war that eastern seaboard
4
Louisiana I ain't comin' back.
5
And I sit all alone in an empty box
6
Listen to the engine roar
7
And I see the world that she oughta be seein'
8
Through a crack in the boxcar door.
9
--- Instrumental ---
10
A hobo's life is a lonely life
11
And I'm restless son of a gun
12
So I'll keep a riding these ribbons of steel
13
And wait for my setting sun.
14
And I sit all alone in an empty box
15
Listen to the engine roar
16
And I see the world that she oughta be seein'
17
Through a crack in the boxcar door.

--- Instrumental ---
19
The engineer is pulling her down
20
And I reckon we ain't going to stop
21
And I'll be a dodgin' the man with a stick
22
I hear him a walkin' on top.
23
And I sit all alone in an empty box
24
Listen to the engine roar
25
And I see the world that she oughta be seein'
26
Through a crack in the boxcar door.
27
--- Instrumental ---
28
Most folks think I'm a crazy man
29
At all of hoboes like me
30
But I let the bottle that holds all
31
The world and I'll die happy and free.
32
And I reckon I'll die in an empty box
33
Listen to the engine roar
34
I'll take the last long look at the world that I love
35
Through a crack in this boxcar door.
36
I'll take the last long look at ther world that I love
37
Through a crack in this boxcar door...
