Oh Guysborough's still waiting to hear that whistle blow
Not a sound for sixty years she's moving very slow
[Chorus]

Will they ever see that train going down the Guysborough track?

Will they ever see that old black smoke come pouring from its stack?

Will they ever hear the rattle of the wheels upon the rail
