Night Train

Night Train is a song from the fifth season dedicated to the post train and "The Flying Kipper".

Lyrics

 * See how the night sky glows,
 * See the light from the night train,
 * The fire glow from the night train.
 * On down the line he blows...
 * Woooooo-oooooo!!!
 * On down the line he blows.


 * All through the night he goes.
 * Hear the sound of the night train,
 * The chugga-chug-chugg of the night train.
 * Hear how his whistle blows...
 * Woooooo-oooooo!!!
 * Hear how his whistle blows.


 * Pulling, heaving, big engine breathing.
 * Pistons pushing side by side.
 * Driver checking, gauging, peering,
 * Fireman stoking by his side.


 * On down the line they go.
 * Fast track for the mail train,
 * Clear away for the post train.
 * Non-stop all night they go...
 * Woooooo-oooooo!!!
 * Non-stop all night they go.


 * See how the night sky glows.
 * Clear ahead for the night train,
 * Green light for the night train.
 * On down the track he blows...
 * Woooooo-oooooo!!!
 * On down the track he blows.


 * Dawn is breaking, sleepy town waking.
 * Children waving, watch him go.
 * Freight trains, milk trains,
 * Boat trains waiting,
 * Stand aside to let him go.


 * There in the morning glow
 * The sunlight on the night train,
 * Silhouettes the night train.
 * On down the line he blows...
 * Woooooo-oooooo!!!
 * There in the morning glow.


 * On down the line he blows
 * Hear the sound of the night train,
 * The chugga-chug-chugg of the night train.
 * Hear how his whistle blows...
 * Woooooo-oooooo!!!
 * Hear how his whistle blows.


 * On down the line he blows,
 * On down the line he blows.
