My Dad's The Engineer
(Words and Music by Chas. Graham)

We were none of us thinking of danger,
As the train sped on in the night,
'Till the flames from a burning forest
Made the passengers wild with fright.
Then a tiny maid near a window,
With a smile said, "there's nothing to fear,
I'm sure no harm will befall you,
My Dad's the Engineer."

"Daddy's on the engine,
Don't be afraid,
Daddy knows what he is doing,"
Said the little maid,
"We'll soon be out of danger.
Don't you ever fear;
Ev'ry one is safe because
My Dad's the Engineer."

With the sparks falling closely about us,
Thro' the flames we sped on so fast,
And the brave little maid's father brought us
Thro' the danger all safe at last,
And the proud, sweet face of his lassie,
And the words of the calm, little dear,
Will live in my mem'ry forever,
"My Dad's the Engineer."

"Daddy's on the engine,
Don't be afraid,
Daddy knows what he is doing,"
Said the little maid,
"We'll soon be out of danger.
Don't you ever fear;
Ev'ry one is safe because
My Dad's the Engineer."
