It's a mean engineerman 

But the fireman is really good 

It's a mean engineerman 

But the fireman is really good 

Has taken my baby 

An I can't stay in this neighborhood 

Sometime, it make me feel like travelin' 

People, from place to place 

Sometime, it makes me feel like travelin' 

People, from place to place 

An I'm wondering if I will ever 

See my baby's face 

Engineerman, engineerman 

I hope your train will jump the track 

Engineerman, engineerman 

I hope your train will jump the track 

'Ah, play it for me' 

You's a dirty mistreater 

Won't bring my baby back 

I hear the train whistle blowin' 

An it really does worry me 

I hear the train whistle blowin' 

An it really does worry me 

It has got me all upset 

An no peace can I see 

I love you, baby 

But I have almost give you up 

I love you, baby 

But I have almost give you up 

You have treated me dirty 

But I hope you all the luck.
