Diesel on the breeze

Down the iron gangway
Down into the noise

Down beside his destiny
C G
Beside his pride and joy
CHORUS:
C G
And he keeps us rolling
D G
Keeps us rolling on

And the engines singing

Their siren song

And he keeps us rolling

Keeps us rolling on

Listens to those engines sing
D Em C G D G
Their siren song
Years upon the ocean
C G
Upon the lakes and seas
Down below the water line

Was where he chose to be

He listened hard to what they said
Their thunder up and down

And he heard their finest whisper

And he understood their sound

The oil and the steel
Speaks to his perfection of

His mechanized idyll

Like they did beside the Zuider Zee

So many years ago
