Thread Name: Lyr Req: Let the Bojine Run? / Let the Bulgine Run
Subject: Info: Clear The Track, Let The Bulgine Run
"Clear The Track, Let The Bulgine Run" enter Bulgine in the upper right hand corner for a search & you'll find a version in the database. Bulgine, according to Hugill was an American slang word for a railroad engine (Shanties of the 7 Seas), I was always under the impression it was similar to a Donkey engine, used for hoisting. Probably orginating from Afro-Americans working the railroads. Barry
