Lyrics

Number Seven had a full head of steam
As she passed by Mile Eight
Then it started to rain as she came
around the bend
Engineer says, “We’re tempting fate”
The conducter radioed from the caboose
Keep your sorry eyes peeled
I think this might be a gully washer
As the devil broke the last seal

It looks like a wash out
Is gonna take us down
It looks like a wash out
The engineer did shout
Pull that brake, hold on tight
It looks like there’ll be a wash out tonight

The heavens opened up it’s maw
The deluge got intense
They saw the mountain sliding down
The crew felt her turbulence
The mountain did reverberate
As the water and mud roared down
It dragged the rails down to the deep
Number Seven made a ghostly sound

It looks like a wash out
Is gonna take us down
It looks like a wash out
The engineer did shout
Pull that brake, hold on tight
It looks like there’ll be a wash out tonight

There are times when you can hear
Round the Mile 8 mark
The sound and cry of Old Number Seven
Drifting through the dark
On a rainy evening you can see
A light glowing in the black
A shadowy figure with a coal lamp
Warning of a washed out track

It looks like a wash out
Is gonna take us down
It looks like a wash out
The engineer did shout
Pull that brake, hold on tight
It looks like there’ll be a wash out tonight

Number Seven had a full head of steam
As she passed by Mile Eight
Then it started to rain as she came
around the bend
Engineer says, “We’re tempting fate”
