In the golden age of steam
A E
There lived a beauty queen
Roamin' around the countryside
F# B
She was a driver's dream.
E
Workin' days and workin' nights
A E
Up before the sun
A E
They all tried hard to get aboard
B E
Thirty-eight o one.
E
The queen of all the fleet
A E
The railway's pride and joy
To ride upon the footplate
F# B
Was the dream of every boy.
E
As she went roarin' by
A E
on another express run
A E
Everyone would turn their heads for
B E
Thirty-eight o one.
D A E
Ah thirty-eight o one
D A
You stood the test you're still the best
G B
You just keep rollin' on.
E
Bound from Sydney town
A E
The black smoke rollin' higher
Across the Hawkesbury River
F# B
To Newcastle on the flyer.
E
Over the Great Divide
A E
On the Central Western run
A E
On the Southern Line right on time went
B E
Thirty-eight o one.
E
But your greatest feat
A E
Was steamin' across the nation
All the crowds would gather round
F# B
At every country station.
E
On the standard gauge
A E
Westward to the sun
A E
Across to Perth and back again went
B E
Thirty-eight o one.
D A E
Ah thirty-eight o one
D A
You stood the test you're still the best
G B
You just keep rollin' on.
E
The days of steam have been and gone
A E
But some remember well
That big green flash as she went by
F# B
Had such a tale to tell.
E
And now she's back upon the tracks
A E
She just keeps rollin' on
A E
She beat the rest she's still the best
B E
Thirty-eight o one.
D A E
Ah thirty-eight o one
D A
You stood the test you're still the best
G B
You just keep rollin' on.
D A E
Ah thirty-eight o one
D A
You stood the test you're still the best
G B
You just keep rollin' on.
