Do you
hear that whistle down the line?
I figure that it's engine number 49.
She's the only one that'll
sound that way
On the Atchison, Topeka,
and the Santa Fe
See the old smoke risin' round the bend
I reckon that she knows
she's gonna meet her friend
Folks around these parts
get the time of day
From the Atchison, Topeka,
and the Santa Santa Fe,
here she comes.
Ooh, hey Jim, you better get the rig.
Ooh, she's got a list
of passengers
that's pretty big,
and they'll all want lifts
to Brown's Hotel,
cause lots of them been traveling
for quite a spell,
all the way from Philadelphia,
on the Etchison, Topeka,
and the Santa Fe.
All aboard!
All aboard!
Chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga,
ooh -ooh
Chugga -chugga -chugga -chugga,
ooh -ooh
Let her rip, let her rip, Engineer
Gotta go, gotta go far away from here
While the man at the fire
shovel's on the go
stick your head out the cab,
watch the drivers roll,
see the towns and the roads
go a -whizzin' by
Fair thee well, Laramie,
Albuquerque, hi, yessiree,
here we are goin' all the way
Bustin' quick till we hit California
On the edge of St. Topeka and the Santa
Fe
On the Atchison, Topeka,
and the Santa Fe,
here she comes
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Hey, Jim, you'd better get the race
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
She's got a list of passengers
that's pretty big
And they'll all want lifts
to Brown's Hotel
Cause lots of them have been traveling
for quite a spell
All the way from Philadelphia
On the Atchison,
Topeka and the Santa Fe
