1. Dirty Diesel
I'm a dirty diesel
Pumping down the line.
Hear my whistle blowing.
Hear my engine whine.

Hear me from your pillow
Hear me on the call
See my smoke, it billows
Up around your heart.

Grandpa was all covered
In locomotive grease.
Grandma was loaded
Drunk on antifreeze.

Well, you may not know it
By looking at your only Dead Man.

That's right.

A dirty, black diesel
Pumpin down the line
Used to be a bad boy
Hear my engine whine
Hear my engine whine

Creeping through the junction
Pulling out at night
I won't be back soon
Gotta schedule to keep right.

You say that you love me
On your pillow
Smoke, it starts to billow
My engine starts to whine.

Engine is whining.

Thanks, Cottonwood! That sounds good to me.

I have always heard "Whompin' down the line."

[Lonesome]

Pretty sure it's:

Grandpa was all covered
In locomotive grease

"Grandpa was all covered
In locomotive grease.
Grandma was loaded
Prophet and a priest."


Maybe grandma wasn't loaded, maybe she wasn't lonely
and maybe she wanted you to drop in, if you please.

Or maybe:

Grandpa was covered
in locomotive grease
Grandma was loaded
droppin' antifreeze

"see my smoke it billows

I just can't stop hearing it as "up around the block." I've trained my ear to hear everything else though, awesome job.
