Subject: train song'want to hear what the engine
Mike Cooney sang a song with the Lyrics: "If you want to hear what the engine done, Left San Antone about a quarter to one, The engineer said to me, Got to make connections with the T&P"

It goes on with neat lyrics listing the connections:

The T&P pullin' in, trying to keep up with the L&N,
The L&N sure do go, tring to keep up with the B&O,
The B&O hop and roar, trying to make connections with the Denver Shore,
The Denver Shore is four days late, trying to make connections with the Nickel Plate....

That is all I remember. Does anyone know the rest?

Michael Cooney said it was a New Lost City Ramble
