I always ride upon the roof On the Kettle Valley line. |
} (Repeat first two lines of every verse) |
I order my meals through the ventilator
On the Kettle Valley Line.
I order my meals through the ventilator,
They taste no worse, and save tippin' the waiter,
So I order my meals through the ventilator
On the Kettle Valley Line.
I buy a sandwich from the cook
On the Kettle Valley Line.
I buy a sandwich from the cook,
And he pockets my money, the dirty crook,
When I buy a sandwich from the cook
On the Kettle Valley Line.
The railway bulls are gentlemen
On the Kettle Valley Line.
The railway bulls are gentlemen,
We'll never see their like again:
Yes the railway bulls are gentlemen
On the Kettle Valley Line.
They tip their hats and they call you "Sir"
On the Kettle Valley Line.
They tip their hats and call you "Sir",
Then chuck you in the local stir,
But they tip their hats and call you "Sir"
On the Kettle Valley Line.
Repeat first verse.
Editor's note: "Railway bulls" were the railway police. The "Stir" was the jail.
