Lyrics
She was born one mornin' on a san juan summer Back in eighteen and eighty and one She was a beautiful daughter of the d and r g And she weighed about a thousand ton
Well, it's a-forty-five mile through the animas canyon So they set her on the narra gauge She drank a whole lot a' water And she ate a lot of coal And they called her the silverton (silverton train)
[Chorus] Here comes the silverton, up from durango Here comes the silverton, a-shovelin' coal Here comes the silverton, up from the canyon See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
Well, now listen to the whistle in the rock wood cut On the high line to silverton town And you're gonna get a shiver When you check out the river Which is four hundred feet straight down
Take on some water at the needleton tank And then a-struggle up a two-five grade And by the time you get your hide Past the snowshed slide You've had a ride on the silverton (silverton train)
[Chorus] Here comes the silverton, up from durango Here comes the silverton, a-shovelin' coal Here comes the silverton, up from the canyon See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
[Musical interlude here. nice violins, and the kettle drums boom well.]
[Chorus] Here comes the silverton, up from durango Here comes the silverton, a-shovelin' coal Here comes the silverton, up from the canyon See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
[If the next line seems a bit familiar, you're correct. chug-chug, toot-toot, off we go.]
Now, down by the station, early in the mornin' There's a whole lot a' people in line And they all got a ticket On the train to yesterday And it's a-gonna leave on time
Well, it's a forty-five mile up the animas canyon So they run her on the narra gauge She takes a whole lot a' water And she needs a lot of coal And they call her the silverton (silverton train)
[Chorus] Here comes the silverton, up from durango Here comes the silverton, a-shovelin' coal Here comes the silverton, up from the canyon See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
[Fade out] Here comes the silverton, up from durango Here comes the silverton, a-shovelin' coal Here comes the silverton, up from the canyon See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
Here comes the silverton, up from durango Here comes the silverton, a-shovelin' coal Here comes the silverton, up from the canyon See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
