KETTLE VALLEY LINE
(lyrics Ean Hay (circa 1952), music adapted by Stan Triggs)
I always ride upon the roof on the Kettle Valley Line (2)
I always ride upon the roof, I could ride inside, but what's the use
So I always ride upon the roof on the Kettle Valley Line
I order my meals through the ventilator on the Kettle Valley Line (2)
I order my meals through the ventilator, the food's no worse, saves tipping
the waiter
I order my meals through the ventilator on the Kettle Valley Line
I buy a sandwich from the cook on the Kettle Valley Line (2)
I buy a sandwich from the cook, he pocket's my money, the dirty crook
Well I buy a sandwich from the cook on the Kettle Valley Line
The railroad bulls are gentlemen on the Kettle Valley Line (2)
The railroad bulls are gentlemen, we'll never see their like again
The railroad bulls are gentlemen on the Kettle Valley Line
They tip their hats and they call you "sir" on the Kettle Valley Line (2)
They tip their hats and they call you "sir," then they chuck you in the local
stir
They tip their hats and they call you "sir" on the Kettle Valley Line
