The oil tanker train from down on the river 从河上下来的油轮列车

In Southern Pacific and Santa Fe names 在南部地区和圣达菲的名字

Would rumble and rattle the old boxcar we lived in 就隆隆作响，嘎嘎的老棚车，我们住在

And I was a kid then and I loved that old train 我还是个孩子，然后和我爱的老火车

   

Loaded with crude oil, headed for town 满载原油，为镇领导

The boxcar would tremble from the top to the ground 该棚车会颤抖，从顶部到地面

And my mother could feel it even before it came 而我的母亲看不出它甚至后才

"Get up son to the window, here comes the oil train" “儿子起床到窗口，来这里的油车”

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

From my checkered past I can always bring back 从我的格仔过去，我总能带回

The memories we felt in that home by the track 回忆我们觉得在这家由轨道

And all these years later it's still stuck in my brain 而所有这些年过去了，它仍然停留在我的大脑

Oh I loved that old oil tanker train 哦，我很喜欢那个老油轮列车

   

Dad worked for the railroad when I was a kid 爸爸工作过的铁路，当我还是个孩子

And my fondest memories were things that he did 我最美好的回忆是事情，他做了

And early one Christmas, after Santa Claus came 而早在一个圣诞节后，圣诞老人来了

There 'neath the tree ran a toy tanker train 有照耀下的树跑了一个玩具火车槽车

   

[Chorus] [合唱]
