I went down to the station

I said I leaned against the door

Yes 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

The Empire State

She runs on ester time

She is the rollingest baby that runs on New York central line

I said wasn't me an old farmer

Engineers

I 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

The farmer only rung the bell

The engineers blow the whistle

I said

The farmer only rung the bell

You know my women is on board

And she is waving back farewell

Well 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

You know

It will take your women away

And chop back smoke at you
