Thanks, Jim. I agree that 'pallet' certainly makes more sense. I was puzzled by that line. It sounds like 'pallet' once you point it out.

You are right - it sounds more like 'four'.

Listening again, I am not happy with what I put for the last two lines of stanza five. It now sounds more like:

Turned to his fireman, 'Pick your place to jump'
'While the two locomotives are a-bound to bump'

What do you think?
