do you hear that whistle down the line
i figure that it's engine #49
she's the only one that'll sound that way on the atchison
topeka and the santa fe. see the old smoke rising round the bend
i reckon that she knows she's gonna meet a friend. folks around these parts set the time of day
from on the atchison
topeka and the santa fe. here she comes
whoo oo oo oo
hey jim
you better get the rig. whoo oo oo oo
she's got a list of passengers that's pretty big. and they'll all want a lift to brown's hotel
'cause lots of them been traveling for quite a spell
all the way from philadelphia on the atchison
topeka and the santa fe. all aboard
all aboard
oo oo oo. let her rip
let her rip
mr. engineer
gotta go
gotta go far away from here. while the man at the fire shovels in the coals
stick your head out the cab and watch the drivers roll. see the towns and the roads go a whizzing by
fare thee well laramie and rocky mountain high
yes sirree
here we are
going all the way
mustn't quit till we hit california. see the old smoke rising round the bend
i reckon that she knows she's gonna meet a friend. folks around these parts set the time of day
from on the atchison
topeka and the santa fe.
