(He's Stan the man, the Towerman
and he's up there all the time)

Now his name is Stan, the Towerman
And he works from twelve to eight
Watchin' all his engines
Switch up all that freight
Makin' up those highball trains
And gettin' them out on time
He's Stan the man, the Towerman
And he's up there all the time

Tower to the Westbound
Do you hear me boy
Tower to the Plank Road
He's shovin' Thirty-four
Now it's gettin' mighty foggy
And very hard to see
So when you shove that Thirty-four
Watch your fenders please

Then one night the Plank Road
Was switchin' on the lead
The Towerman said there's lots of room
Up here in Thirty-three
The Foreman gave a highball
The throttle came out wide
And they shoved that Thirty-three
Into Eighty-six'es side

Now his name is Stan, the Towerman
And he works from twelve to eight
Watchin' all his engines
Switch up all that freight
Makin' up those highball trains
And gettin' them out on time
He's Stan the man, the Towerman
And he's up there all the time

Now the telephone broke silence
And the Speaker's on the lead
The Towerman said hold it boy
You shoved out Thirty-three
Have the Foreman give me a call
And have a cup of tea
It will be a spell before the Eastbound
Can switch out Thirty-three

Now the hook it came from London
The section men appeared
They worked all night to the cold gray dawn
To get Eighty-six out of here
Now I tell all you foremen
When you're switchin' on the lead
You better send the Fieldman
For a walk up Thirty-three

Now his name is Stan, the Towerman
And he works from twelve to eight
Watchin' all his engines
Switch up all that freight
Makin' up those highball trains
And gettin' them out on time
He's Stan the man, the Towerman
And he's up there all the time
