I went down to the station | |
I leaned against the door | |
I went down to the station | |
I leaned against the door | |
You know I know the | |
Empire State | |
Any time I hear her blow | |
Then I ask the depot agent | |
Let me ride, let me ride the blind | |
Oh depot agent | |
Please let me ride the blinds | |
He said I wouldn’t mind it son | |
But this empire state ain’t mine | |
You know he said | |
I have an | |
Empire State | |
She rides on eastern | |
She rides on eastern | |
Eastern time | |
She runs on ester time | |
She is the rollingest baby that runs on | |
New York central line | |
EngineersI said wasn’t me an old farmer | |
And I trust all engineers | |
You know they took my women away | |
Yes the engineers blow the whistle | |
The farmer only rung the bell | |
You know my women is on board | |
And she is waving back farewell | |
I’m going to tell you all | |
You on the train | |
You on the train | |
The train will do | |
And I’m gonna tell you all what | |
I know the train will do | |
It will take your women away | |
And chop back smoke as you |
I went down to the station | |
I leaned against the door | |
I went down to the station | |
I leaned against the door | |
You know I know the | |
Empire State | |
Any time I hear her blow | |
Then I ask the depot agent | |
Let me ride, let me ride the blind | |
Oh depot agent | |
Please let me ride the blinds | |
He said I wouldn' t mind it son | |
But this empire state ain' t mine | |
You know he said | |
I have an | |
Empire State | |
She rides on eastern | |
She rides on eastern | |
Eastern time | |
She runs on ester time | |
She is the rollingest baby that runs on | |
New York central line | |
EngineersI said wasn' t me an old farmer | |
And I trust all engineers | |
You know they took my women away | |
Yes the engineers blow the whistle | |
The farmer only rung the bell | |
You know my women is on board | |
And she is waving back farewell | |
I' m going to tell you all | |
