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 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 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 Philadel phi a
|
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe
|
|
All Aboard! All Aboard!
|
|
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-the-well Laramie and Rocky Mountain High
|
Yes sirree, here we are, going all the way
|
Mustn¡¯t quit till we hit Califor ni a
|
|
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 the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe
