Fireman's Not For Me (Original Mix) Lyrics
Fireman's Not for Me (Original Mix) - Ewan MacColl
Composed by：Ewan MacColl
Come all you young maidens take a warning from me
Shun all engine firemen and their company
He'll tell you he loves you and all kinds of lies
But the one that he loves is the train that he drives
I once loved a fireman that he said he loved me
He took me out walking into the country
He hugged me and kissed me and gazed in my eyes
And said you're as nice as the eight forty-five
He said my dear Molly just say you'll be mine
Just give me the signal and let's clear the line
My fires they're all burning my steam it is high
If you don't take the breaks off I think I will die
I gave him this answer saying don't be so free
For no loco fireman shall ever have me
He'll take all your love and when you're in need
He races away at the top of his stead
A sailor comes home when his voyage is done
A soldier gets weary of following the drum
A collier will cleave to his loved one for life
But a fireman's one love is the engine his wife
