lyrics

16. The Royal Hudson 3:43

See that train coming down the track
Chugga chugga choo choo clickity clack
See that train coming ‘round the track
Chugga chugga choo choo clickity clack
A black engine caboose in the back
A big grey cloud coming out of the stack

The Royal Hudson runs again
The Crown Princess
from the Age of the Trains
The Royal Hudson runs again
The Crown Princess
from the Age of the Trains
From Montreal to the Revelstoke Line
Never did you see such a beautiful sight
Whoo-whoo Whoo-whoo is how the train whistle blows
PSI 275, 90 feet long, 15 feet high
The boiler held 12, 000 gallons
At 90 miles an hour
you can hear her howling
2860, 4-6-4 wish she could ride
the rails once more
Over hills and beyond the Plains
Tunnels through mountain terrain
Up and down so many grades
To the coast and back again
In sun and sleet and snow and rain
The Royal Hudson runs again
