Mcall C W - The Gallopin' Goose - Sözleri

(Chip Davis, Bill Fries)





On a cold November mornin'


Back in nineteen-thirty-seven


With an early snow a-fallin'


On the three-foot tracks at Ames


Came a mighty strange contraption


Known to trainmen as a motor


But to folks in Colorado


She was known by another name 





Up the canyons south of Sawpit


Past the red Cathedral spires


'Cross the yellow mountain switchbacks


And the rapids far below


On the high and lofty trestles


Near the fabled mines of Ophir


In the silver San Juan Mountains


Came a goose a-plowin' snow 





[Chorus]


With a Pierce-Arrow engine,


Runnin' hot and on the loose


Came the Rio Grande Southern


The Gallopin' Goose


With a Pierce-Arrow engine


Runnin' hot and on the loose


Came Number Five, The Gallopin' Goose 





'Twas a four-door auto-mobile


On a dozen wheels of iron


Sixteen feet of rockin' boxcar


Spot-welded to her tail


Loaded down with mercantile


Ten bags a' high-grade ore


Two mothers nursin' babies


Seven miners an' the mail 





Up the side a' Sunshine Mountain


By internal gas combustion


Eight Pierce-Arrow pistons pullin'


Fifteen thousand pounds a' lead


At the snowshed on the summit


The conductor said his prayers


He declared a busted driveshaft


On the pass at Lizard Head 





[Chorus]


With a Pierce-Arrow engine


Runnin' hot and on the loose


Came the Rio Grande Southern


The Gallopin' Goose


With a Pierce-Arrow engine


Runnin' hot and on the loose


Came Number Five, The Gallopin' Goose 





[Musical interlude here.] 





Down the three-percent to Rico


In the valley of Dolores


They still talk about the Southern


An' her flock of flyin' geese


From the roundhouse at Ridgway


To the depot at Durango


All the tracks are gone for scrap iron


And the ganders rest in peace 





Up the canyons south of Sawpit


Past the red Cathedral spires


'Cross the yellow mountain switchbacks


And the rapids far below


On the high and lofty trestles


Near the fabled mines of Ophir


In the silver San Juan Mountains


There's a legend in the snow 





[Chorus]


With a Pierce-Arrow engine


Runnin' hot and on the loose


Came the Rio Grande Southern


The Gallopin' Goose


With a Pierce-Arrow engine


Runnin' hot and on the loose


Came Number Five, The Gallopin' Goose
