Dia lahir pada suatu pagi di musim panas San Juan
Back in eighteen and eighty and one
Kembali di delapan belas dan delapan puluh satu
She was a beautiful daughter of the D and R G
Dia adalah putri cantik D dan R G
And she weighed about a thousand ton
Dan beratnya sekitar seribu ton
Well, it's a-forty-five mile through the Animas canyon
Nah, jaraknya empat puluh lima mil melalui ngarai Animas
So they set her on the narra gauge
Jadi mereka menaruhnya di alat pengukur narra
She drank a whole lot a' water
Dia minum banyak air
And she ate a lot of coal
Dan dia banyak makan batu bara
And they called her the Silverton (Silverton train)

Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango
Inilah Silverton, naik dari Durango
Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal
Inilah batu bara Silverton, a-shovelin ‘
Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon
Inilah Silverton, naik dari ngarai
See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
Lihat asapnya dan dengar peluitnya
Well, now listen to the whistle in the Rock Wood cut
Nah, sekarang dengarkan peluit di potong Rock Wood
On the high line to Silverton town
Di jalur tinggi ke kota Silverton
And you're gonna get a shiver
Dan kau akan menggigil
When you check out the river
Saat kamu check out sungai
Which is four hundred feet straight down
Yang empat ratus kaki lurus ke bawah
Take on some water at the Needleton tank
Ambil air di tangki Needleton
And then a-struggle up a two-five grade
Dan kemudian berjuang merebut nilai dua lima
And by the time you get your hide
Dan pada saat Anda mendapatkan kulit Anda
Past the Snowshed slide
Melewati slide Snowshed
You've had a ride on the Silverton (Silverton train)
Anda sudah mengendarai Silverton (kereta Silverton)
Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango
Inilah Silverton, naik dari Durango
Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal
Inilah batu bara Silverton, a-shovelin ‘
Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon
Inilah Silverton, naik dari ngarai
See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
Lihat asapnya dan dengar peluitnya

See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
Lihat asapnya dan dengar peluitnya
Now, down by the station, early in the mornin'
Sekarang, di dekat stasiun, di awal pagi hari,
There's a whole lot a' people in line
Ada banyak ‘orang-orang yang mengantre
And they all got a ticket
Dan mereka semua mendapat tiket
On The Train To Yesterday
Di Kereta Untuk Kemarin
And it's a-gonna leave on time
Dan itu akan pergi tepat waktu
Well, it's a forty-five mile up the Animas canyon
Nah, itu adalah empat puluh lima mil di atas ngarai Animas
So they run her on the narra gauge
Jadi mereka menjalankannya di alat pengukur narra
She takes a whole lot a' water

And she needs a lot of coal
Dan dia butuh banyak batu bara
And they call her the Silverton (Silverton train)
Dan mereka memanggilnya Silverton (kereta Silverton)
