"Locomotive Man" lyrics

Locomotive Man

I got a gal in Dallas
I wave at when I go through
I got a gal in Tulsa
That I toot my whistle to
Say how do
I got them all over the land
I'm a locomotive man

Left my heart in Omaha
Omaha
And I never did quite get it back
I got a Sue in Sioux City
Waiting by the railroad track
Keeps her money in a tater sack
I got them all over the land
I'm a locomotive man

Well, I left a little switch engine
About forty miles south of Bangor, Maine
Couldn't keep the wheels a turning
Shouldn't try to pull my train
Got them all over the land
I'm a locomotive man

Well, I had a gal in
Jackson
And it sure broke my heart
To turn her loose
When I checked my time and
Moved on
She's hooked on my caboose
I got them all over the land
I'm a locomotive man
