Empire State Express Full Lyrics
[00:10.40] I went down to the station
[00:13.19] I said I leaned up against the door
[00:20.02] I went down to the station
[00:22.08] I leaned up against the door
[00:30.25] You know I know the Empire State
[00:34.02] Any time I hear her blow
[00:40.21] Then I ask the depot agent
[00:44.32] Let me ride, let me ride the blind
[00:48.39] I said I asked the depot agent
[00:52.47] I said let me ride the blinds
[00:58.05] He said you ain't going anywhere now, son
[01:00.54] You know you got to, to lay your money down
[01:02.71] I asked the depot agent
[01:03.65] What time, what time
[01:04.71] She's due in town
[01:05.08] I asked the depot agent
[01:05.56] And said what time is she due in town
[01:07.18] San Antonio?
[01:07.45] You got to lay your money down
[01:08.78] He said on the Empire State
[01:11.53] She runs on the Eastern
[01:13.05] She runs on the Eastern
[01:16.76] Eastern Time
[01:18.81] He said, Empire State
[01:21.35] You know she's usually on Eastern time
[01:27.65] You know she's about to row this baby
[01:31.23] On New York central line
[01:36.58]
[01:48.08] Ask the engineer
[01:55.79]
[02:06.94] I blow the whistle, old farmer rung
[02:12.29] Rung the bell
[02:15.92] I said the engineers blow the whistle
[02:18.44] I said the farmer only rung the bell
[02:24.48] You know my woman was on board
[02:26.85] And she's waving back fare you well
[02:29.83] There was a mean old farmer
[02:33.43] A cruel engineer, engineer
[02:34.28] I said there was a mean old farmer
[02:36.05] I said a cruel old engineer
[02:37.85] You know they took my woman away
[02:39.68] And left poor me slamming her
[02:43.82] Yeah, I must tell you people
[02:46.11] What a load on train
[02:47.51] Train was due, oh
[02:49.14] I said what a load on train
[02:51.96] You know they'll take your woman away
[02:54.92] Into the trunk, like smokey due
[03:00.62] When you want to get to Chicago
[03:02.73] You want to get to
[03:06.51] You want to get to
[03:08.87] Get on there quick
[03:09.82] I said if you want to get to Chicago
[03:13.23] I said you wanna get on there quick
[03:19.03] You oughta catch that Empire State
[03:22.28] You'll soon get your penitence straight
[03:24.45]
