Well the big train keeps on rolling Rolling on down the track And the way she´s moving buddy I don´t believe she´s ever coming back The fireman´s smoking a big cigar Sipping Lafite Rothschild Bordeaux And the engineer´s so happy He´s just a-letting that whistle blow She keeps a-rolling She keeps a-rolling She keeps a-rolling on proud and fine She keeps a-rolling She keeps a-rolling Down that long twin silver line Well she just blazed through Chicago Nonstop to L.A. And the way she´s steaming buddy You better not get in her way She´s got the finest fastest pulling twin diesels She´s got ninety three cars in tow She´s gonna be on time All the way down the line Come the rain hail sleet or snow She keeps a-rolling She keeps a-rolling She keeps a-rolling on right on time She keeps a-rolling She keeps a-rolling Down that long twin silver line And she just passed in Chicago Rolling into kansas too Rolling into Denver Doing all she´ll do And she hangs a big left in Salt Lake City Southwest to the Nevada line Rolling into California Right on time Rolling on down the line
