_______

 

Reuben made a train, And he put it on the track,
And he ran it to the Lord knows where.
Oh me, Oh my,

You could hear the whistle blow 100 miles.

 

Should been in town when Reuben's train went down,
And you could hear when that train come down.
Oh me, Oh my,

You could hear the whistle blow 100 miles.

 

I've been to the East, I've been to the West,
I'm going where those chilly winds don't blow.
Oh me, Oh my,

You could hear the whistle blow 100 miles.
