My Dad's The Engineer (Eddie Coffey) with lyrics and video

We were none of us thinking of danger,
As the train sped on through the night,
The flames from a burning forest,
Made the passengers wild with fright;
Then a tiny maid near the window,
Said, "Don't you ever fear,
Everybody's safe because,
My Dad is the engineer.

My Daddy's on the engine,
Do not be afraid,
Daddy knows what he's doing,"
Replied the little maid;
"We'll soon be out of danger,
Oh don't you ever fear,
Everybody's safe because,
My Dad is the engineer."

With the sparks falling closely around us,
And the train it went so fast,
The poor, little maiden's father,
He brought us all safe at last;
The proud, sweet face of this lassie,
And the words of this calm, little dear,
Will live in my mem'ry forever:
"My Dad is the engineer."

My Daddy's on the engine,
Do not be afraid,
Daddy knows what he's doing,"
Replied the little maid;
"We'll soon be out of danger,
Oh don't you ever fear,
Everybody's safe because,
My Dad is the engineer;
Everybody's safe because,
My Dad is the engineer."
