Metallurgical coal
I hear the same train coming every day
Down by the river going either which way
The same train I hear every day
Later today, tomorrow just like every day
And I should've just put her down
Had a round then another then a straight crown
Now I'm coming on back to you
I know what I'm gonna do today
I'm gonna grab the kids and head on down to the railway
We can hear it from the ex wife's place
There's a sweet spot to sit and watch the coal train
And I should've just put her down
Had a round then another then a straight crown
Now I'm coming on back to you
'Cause you are the one that hauls the load and turns it in to steel
You're metallurgical coal
You are the one that hauls the load and turns it in to steel
You're metallurgical coal
It dates back to April 1970
Coal trains hauling from the Elk valley
Fording River, Elkview, Lang Creek and Green Hills
Heading north past a bunch of saw mills
And I should've just put her down
Had a round then another then a straight crown
Now I'm coming on back to you
And I should've just put her down
Had a round then another then a straight crown
Now I'm coming on back to you
And I should've just put her down
Had a round then another then a straight crown
Now I'm coming on back to you
And I should've just put her down
Had a round then another then a straight crown
Now I'm coming on back to you
Down by the river going either which way
The same train I hear every day
Later today, tomorrow just like every day
And I should've just put her down
Had a round then another then a straight crown
Now I'm coming on back to you
I know what I'm gonna do today
I'm gonna grab the kids and head on down to the railway
We can hear it from the ex wife's place
There's a sweet spot to sit and watch the coal train
And I should've just put her down
Had a round then another then a straight crown
Now I'm coming on back to you
'Cause you are the one that hauls the load and turns it in to steel
You're metallurgical coal
You are the one that hauls the load and turns it in to steel
You're metallurgical coal
It dates back to April 1970
Coal trains hauling from the Elk valley
Fording River, Elkview, Lang Creek and Green Hills
Heading north past a bunch of saw mills
And I should've just put her down
Had a round then another then a straight crown
Now I'm coming on back to you
And I should've just put her down
Had a round then another then a straight crown
Now I'm coming on back to you
And I should've just put her down
Had a round then another then a straight crown
Now I'm coming on back to you
And I should've just put her down
Had a round then another then a straight crown
Now I'm coming on back to you
