Keith West - Sam lyrics



Sam had a nice profession
Well it was really more an obsession
He didn't have a single possession
Just affection for a steam machine
Its simply Green-- her name is Glory

The village folks they often wonder
Where Glory gets her fire and thunder
Magic things Sam must conjure
Museum on the Rails--
A legend of Old Tales--Glory

("Everybody on the train")
They climb aboard, wipe their feet
Would you kindly take your seats
Sam pulls a cord
And a whistle is absorbed
Sam calls to ev'ryone
"Let's have fun--This could be our last run!"
He didn't know how right he was
A shock for him was in the post--now!

A letter headed Railway Company
Found its way to his house on Monday
Read: 'Your route is uneconomical
Very sorry, we got to be logical
And when the month ends
Glory is redundant'.

Then a strange sound in the night
Made the people wake with fright
A Green Machine with a yellow light
With Sam on top--steams out of sight
Leaving behind puzzled minds

*
Penny: Where is he off to?
Keith: He doesn't really know.
Penny: Is he angry?
Keith: No, just very, very upset.
Penny: Will he come back?
Keith: We'll have to wait and see.
*

Dear old Sam we miss you so
We wish you would come back
All we want for Christmas
Is old Sam in Santa's sack [...]
(repeat, repeat)
