At twelve he met his true love

On the banks of the Zuider Zee
There was smoke upon the water

Diesel on the breeze

Down the iron gangway
Down into the noise

Down beside his destiny

Beside his pride and joy

And he keeps us rolling
D G
Keeps us rolling on

Listens to those engines sing

Their siren song 
Years upon the ocean
C G
Upon the lakes and seas
Down below the water line

Their thunder up and down

And he heard their finest whisper
