Cuyahoga Valley Line

Big steel wheels thunder down the track
Here comes the Cuyahoga Valley Line
Blowin' smoke, sulfur and ash
Big load a coal from the Stark County mine

She climbs through the bramble and the hills
From Bolivar to Tinkers Creek
Engineer pulls her whistle as she turns every bend
From Peninsula on up to Cleveland

Stoker man keep that boiler hot!
Roll on Cuyahoga Valley Line
Throttle her up and give her all you've got
'Cause this here locomotive, she's runnin' out of time

Steel rail boss he's a countin' his money
Not worried about a poor railroad man
He'll turn 'em, and he'll burn 'em
And hire him up some new men if he can

She's on her last trip through the valley
This steam ship is a lady dressed in black
Her whistles are a howlin', she ain't afraid of dyin'
Mourning for a time that won't come back!

Stoker man keep that boiler hot!
Roll on Cuyahoga Valley Line
Throttle her up and give her all you've got
'Cause this here locomotive, she's runnin' out of time

A hundred years have come and gone
All that's left is broken ties and rusted track
If you put your hands down on those rails
You can feel her thunder coming back!

Stoker man keep that boiler hot!
Roll on Cuyahoga Valley Line
Throttle her up and give her all you've got
'Cause this here locomotive, she's runnin' out of time

This here locomotive is runnin' out of time
