It never occured to me that Dinah, with whom someone is strummin' on the old banjo in the kitchen, might be a *locomotive*!

So, Glauber, maybe you already know more about this than the rest of us!

Hello, if there's anyone who knows, she or he is probably in this forum, so i'll ask: why is the locomotive called Dinah? My guess is it has something to do with "dynamite", but maybe there's a better explanation?

Another question: are there any additional meanings on "someone's in the kitchen with Dinah playing on that old banjo"? I have a feeling that there may be sexual overtones, as in another old song (Irish) where it says "i took my fiddle out and played my love a song".

Thanks for indulging my curiosity.
