During the time of the second World War
|
A small town in Italy
|
Death
|
Came
|
Aboard
|
Train number 8017
|
It wasn? strafing of bombing
|
Clandestine de-railings
|
It was just
|
Some bad coal
|
The stockyard was sellingClimb aboard everybody
|
To Galleria dele Armi
|
Train 8017 to hell of to heaven
|
Train 8017 climb aboard
|
|
All the allied forces
|
Shut down the town
|
Made rich men and poor men
|
The same
|
poor
|
So they hid
|
In the night
|
Shivered
|
Til the 8017 came
|
Their families were starving
|
In the village of Bovano
|
They had to break
|
The rules
|
Just to try
|
To find food
|
Climb aboard everybody
|
To Galleria dele Armi
|
Train 8017 to hell of to heaven
|
Train 8017 climb aboard
|
|
Just through the mountains
|
Is Galleria dele Armi
|
A rich valley so fertile
|
And full
|
And only one train can get there
|
there? only one tunnel
|
To pass throughBut the train
|
It stopped
|
In the middle
|
Of the tunnel
|
And smoke
|
From bad coal
|
Turned black
|
The 500
|
From Bovano
|
Who hungered
|
But died
|
Before
|
They got through
|
Climb aboard everybody
|
To Galleria dele Armi
|
Train 8017
|
Train 8017 climb aboard
|
During the time of the second World War
|
A small town in Italy

|
