09 Train To Wuxi Lyrics & Chords By Eric Woolfson

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
