The Okaihau Express versuri

Versuri Peter Cape – The Okaihau Express lyrics

She starts out from Otiria, the smallest train you’ve seen
This is the Okaihau Express
An engine and a guardsvan with a carriage in between
This is the Okaihau Express

The driver doesn’t worry if he takes the journey slow
Driving the Okaihau Express
He’s got all day to do it in and 30 miles to go
Driving the Okaihau Express

She was goin’ round the bend doin’ 10 miles an hour
The whistle began to shriek
Well, she caught that bull in the middle of the brisket
And the engine smеlled of steak for a week

Therе’s puppies in an apple box, pippies in a sack
Riding the Okaihau Express
But no one knows the difference when they’re drippin’ from the rack
Riding the Okaihau Express

She stops at Lake Omapere to take some water in
This is the Okaihau Express
The fireman takes a bucket, the driver takes a swim
This is the Okaihau Express

Okaihau to Otiria, it’s just a single track
This is the Okaihau Express
You can’t turn it at the terminus, you just reverse her back
This is the Okaihau Express
