If you don't shake, you won't get
no cake,
If you don't hum, I ain't gonna
give you none!
Now, you can't ride, honey, you
can't ride this train,
I'm the chief engineer, I'm gonna
run it like Stavin' Chain!
I ask you in the morning to treat
me right,
You put me off, tell me, "Wait
'til night!"
Now, you can't ride, honey, you
can't ride this train,
I'm the chief engineer, I'm gonna
run it like Stavin' Chain!
Back your horse out my stable,
back him out fast,
I've got another jockey, get yourself
another mare!
Now, you can't ride, honey, you
can't ride this train,
I'm the chief engineer, I'm gonna
run it like Stavin' Chain!
Stavin' Chain was a man of might,
He'd save up his money just to
ride all night,
Now, you can't ride, honey, you
can't ride this train,
I'm the chief engineer, I'm gonna
run it like Stavin' Chain!
[spoken] Oh, grind, baby, grind!
I was at your house last night,
'bout half past four,
Found another woman comin' out
your door,
Now, you can't ride, honey, you
can't ride this train,
I'm the chief engineer, I'm gonna
run it like Stavin' Chain!
Hey!
Yeah!
