I here and now make an appeal
For a good job of railroading
Out on that rumbling rolling steel
Or if need be even loading
Give me a chance and I will work
At that about which I know best
My duties not ever to shirk
And stand up proper to the test
While lacking a record of such
Assuredly I know my stuff
By with such things keeping in touch
And kept at it when thing got tough
What things I do not know I will
Be studying until I do
Attain what ever needed skill
At what I am expected to
All I ask is an even chance
For proving by abilities
Whatever need be to enhance
Much greater opportunities
