NO you'r right on
time..Thanks to Don as to the
proper issue and thanks to ME for
having it where I could find it
so....HERE 'TIS.
PUT THE HOGGER ON THE CRUMMY
Let me sit on the right hand
side
A-hold of the throttle and
johnson bar,
And make our rough wild hogger
ride
At the other end on the old way
car.
Just watch him try to stay in
the hack.
When I start the train with the
air and the slack
And hear him holler when his
head I drove,
Right in behind the crummy
stove,
And as the train goes into the
sag,
Knock him out with the slack in
that drag
And let him lay there on the
floor.
Afraid to stand up, for fear
he'd get more.
I'd head right in on the
longest track,
And cut her off a long way
back;
When the hogger walks in to him
I'd say
Well, how was the ride you got
today.

That's when railroad men were
authors and poets as well as good
"car hands"...and it wasn't
necessary to drop the F bomb every
other word.
