Big Top Steam

A Big East Top Steam Whistle

The steam whistle goes off to sleep

No more coal left now we haul parcels and people places and then some

Want the steam whistle to echo through the valley

All I hear is a ghost whispering to me when I’m awake

So Kov bought it for scrap tryin to spin a buck
All he hears walking along great steel is

Ghostly voices coming from a steam engine from time before

They say here comes the Scrap Man
The butcher will tear us apart for profit

He says to them as long as I’m alive no one will put a torch to you…you’ll remain true to

Change of heart that never wavers

So 150 year old East Broad only comes out for special ceremonies

No place like it in the U S A
Priceless in History
Bringing Fire back to the railroad of 1872

Bins of rivets and bolts left behind

There was even a wake for a Union Officer
Who died in Gettysburg

So now we go off on a 100 year gasoline motorcar doodlebug

Hear the Big East Top Steam whistle in my dreams

It slowly puts me off to sleep
