Empire State Express Rory Gallagher

Went down to the station
Leaned against the door
Went down to the station
I leaned against the door
I knew it was the Empire State
Can tell by the way she blows

Asked the depot agent
"Please let me ride the blinds"
Asked the depot agent
"Please let me ride the blinds"
He said, "Son, I like to help you, you know
But the Empire State ain't mine"

The Empire State, you know she
Rides on Eastern time
The Empire State
She rides on Eastern time
She's the "rollingest" baby
On the New York Central line

It was a mean ol' fireman
And a low-down engineer
It was a cruel fireman

A low-down engineer
That took my baby away
Left poor me sitting here
