Osage Route (Larry W. Jones 06/25/2007) (song#4738)
She rolled into sight a mile up the track Working up steam with her brake shoes slack Her whistle moaned when at the whistle post Stopping at the station like a lonesome ghost
Old John heard the roar on the polished steel Of steam drivers pounding on six big wheels The flanges made a screech on ribbons of rail As she rolled along west on the prairie trail
– instrumental –
Old John got ready and he took a chance He climbed aboard to do the hobo’s dance He reached up high for the end door pin Opened up the door and Old John climbed in
Old John didn’t bother with counting sheep He just crawled on in and went fast asleep The whistle moaned as she high balled out With Old John headed west on the Osage Route
