There, where the rails run down distant,
Where there is a light above the rails,
A new switchman walks along the line –
A young, naughty boy.

Chorus:
If the girls, if girls
Have forgotten about their children,
This switchman, this switchman,
The new switchman is to blame.

White smoke of trains passing,
As a veil, wrapped bushes,
And the smiling girls with their scarf’s
The switchman catches like flowers.

Chorus:
The silence hangs over the rails,
The hooters fell silent over the gardens.
A new switchman song wonderful
He’s hiding a fire in his heart.

Chorus:
If the girls, if girls
Have forgotten about their children,
This switchman, this switchman,
The new switchman is to blame.
