I'm a machine

Inside a machine

Filed between the early bird and another with

A broken wing

Glidin' through the moonshine

On that cloudy railway

Replace this machine

With another machine

Dress him up in turpentine

Fill him with steam

Work as hard as twice the men

For twice the hours

Half the pay!

[Instrumental]

As long as they don't

Cut my pay

Then the boss-man gets his way

So I'll ride

On that smokin' train today
