Three years old and my sundress on
Golden Book tucked up under my arm
When I suddenly heard that sound
Filled the valley and shook the ground
My body was frozen
Cups and saucers started to shake
Fear on the horizon
Run and hide before it's too late
One morning I stood still
Engine rumbling over the hill
Held my breath and I closed my eyes
Feared the worst, but to my surprise
A loud whistle was blowin'
Open my eyes and what did I see?
Right there in my backyard
That conductor smiling at me
Every time a train goes by, a train goes by
My confidence grows
I can face any old whistle that blows
Every time a train goes by
Every time a train goes by, a train goes by
My confidence grows
I can face any old whistle that blows
Every time a train goes by
