Then it puffed an’ puffed, a-faster an’ faster,
While Wallie sat there like an old school-master,
A-drivin’ that train till, I tell you what!
You no idea what a nerve he's got!
Willie he held on to Wallie, an’ Jane
Held onto Willie with might and main.
Then they hitched along, like an old inch-worm,
With now a spazzum, and then a squirm;
But Willie and Wallie and Pinkie Jane,
They soon got sick o’ that Railroad train!
But when they crawled to the last end car
To jump on the ground, where it was n't far,
They got a heap worse off, instead,
For that nasty train, it stood on its head!
An’ they all yelled, “Telegraft Huldy Ann,
And make her come as quick as she can.
We can n't get off. Oh, hurry up, please!
What would we do if the thing should sneeze?”
