(In a little town called Palmerston
not too far from here)

Now this is a story of a railroad engineer
At the mere age of twenty-one he started his career
First to be a fireman and then an engineer
In a little town called Palmerston not too far from here
In a little town called Palmerston not too far from here

They gave him a shovel and a tender full of coal
And at midnight the highball she began to roll
The engineer looked down on him and said you're doing well
But shovel all that coal into that firey-hell
But shovel all that coal into that firey-hell

He shoveled all the coal in and swept the tender clean
Feeling a little tired feeling a little mean
But now the trip was over and the engine put away
Book a little rest and go to bed to shovel another day
Book a little rest and go to bed to shovel another day

For twenty years he shoveled coal and swept the tender clean
But now he is an engineer not feeling quite so nean
Up behind the throttle blowing whistle ring the bell
And looking on his fireman shoveling coal into that firey-hell
And looking on his fireman shoveling coal into that firey-hell

And then one bright and early morn the telephone did ring
They ordered that old hogger on an extra to Kincardine
And on his way to work that morn no fireman he would have
For there's no coal to shovel up in that diesel cab
For there's no coal to shovel up in that diesel cab
