dave goulder - long narrow shovel lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
when it’s three o’clock in the morning
and the moon shines through the park
the railway men are going to work
and the dogs creep home in the dark

[chorus]
with me long narrow shovel and me bread and cheese
and a little white can for me tea
when i’m too old for a fireman’s work
it’s a driver i shall be

[verse 2]
when me boots go crunch on the gravel
and the black smoke fills the air
a wisp of steam from the cylinder taps
of me engine waiting there

[chorus]
with me long narrow shovel and me brеad and cheese
and a little white can for mе tea
when i’m too old for a fireman’s work
it’s a driver i shall be

[verse 3]
oh we fill up the tank with water
and the tender’s stacked with coal
i pick up the shovel in me frozen hands
and i fill up the fiery hole
[chorus]
with me long narrow shovel and me bread and cheese
and a little white can for me tea
when i’m too old for a fireman’s work
it’s a driver i shall be

[verse 4]
then we roll on down to the cabin
and the guard is waiting there
we pick up the train from the shunting yard
and we’re off to god knows where

[chorus]
with me long narrow shovel and me bread and cheese
and a little white can for me tea
when i’m too old for a fireman’s work
it’s a driver i shall be

[verse 5]
oh the fire lights up all the footplate
and the night is sharp and clear
if the man doesn’t close all the loco sheds
i’ll be here in forty years

[chorus]
with me long narrow shovel and me bread and cheese
and a little white can for me tea
when i’m too old for a fireman’s work
it’s a driver i shall be
