Eric Woolfson - Train to Wuxi lyrics

A tin mine boss Was making lots of money Making lots of money In a tin mine town A tin mine boss Was feeling kinda funny Something kept coming round and going round Cos if the tin run out Gonna be in trouble (Gonna be in trouble if the tin run out) And if the tin run out Won't it be a pity Gonna have to call the place no tin city Woo woo We're on the train to Wuxi Woo woo Going back to Wuxi Woo woo We're on the train to Wuxi We don't know how far to take it But we'll make it or we'll break it Someday Someday The engineer said gotta keep the wheels turning Keep the fire burning like an engineer should The engineer tried to keep the motor running Just a steaming and a shoveling water and wood If the creek run dry When d'ya get your water If the tree don't grow Where d'ya get the wood If the fish don't bite How you gonna feed 'em I guess it's time to move on But that's no good Woo woo We're on the train to Wuxi Woo woo On our way to Wuxi Woo woo All the way to Wuxi And we might be going nowhere But we won't know till we get there Woo woo We're on the train to Wuxi Woo woo Going back to Wuxi Woo woo We're on the train to Wuxi We don't know how far to take it But we'll make it or we'll break it Someday Someday Good Time Joe was having quite a party Having quite a party with a good time crowd Good time Joe was drinking lots of whiskey Lots and lots of whiskey when the news got out Then the tin ran out The mine stopped working The creek run dry and the trees don't grow When the booze ran out He really got a problem Well how's he gonna call himself 'Good Time Joe' Woo woo We're on the train to Wuxi Woo woo On our way to Wuxi Woo woo All the way to Wuxi And we might be going nowhere But we won't know till we get there Woo woo Woo woo Woo woo Woo woo We're on the train to Wuxi Woo woo On our way to Wuxi Woo woo We're on the train to Wuxi We don't know how far to take it But we'll make it or we'll break it Someday Someday
