On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe

On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe - Judy Garland

Written by：Johnny Mercer

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 ol' smoke risin' 'round the bend

I reckon that she knows she's gonna meet a friend

Folks around these parts get the time of day

From the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe

Here she comes

Ooh ooh ooh

Hey Jim you better get the rig

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 o' them been travelin' for quite a spell

On the way to Californiay

On the Atchison Topeka

On the Atchison Topeka

On the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe

Ooh ee Atchison Topeka Santa Fe

Atchison Topeka

On the roads back East are mighty swell

The Chesapeake Ohio and the ASL

But I make my run and I make my pay

On the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe

Goin' back and forth along these aisles

My land you must've walked about a million miles

It's a treat to be on your feet all day

On the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe

Here she comes

Raa du raa du raa du raa raa raa

She really racin' down the line

Looky looky looky look look look

Oh boy we're huffin' and a puffin' on the 49

In this day and age girls don't leave home

But if you get a hankerin' and you wanna roam

Our advice to you is run away

On the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe

What a lovely day I'm feeling so fresh and alive

And I'm so glad to arrive it's all so grand

It's easy to see you don't need a palace

To feel like Alice in Wonderland

Back in Ohio where I come from

I've done a lot of dreamin' and I've traveled some

But I never thought I'd see the day

When I ever took a ride on the Santa Fe

Wanna take a ride on the Santa Fe

I would lean across my window sill

And hear the whistle echoin' across the hill

Then I'd watch the lights till they'd fade away

On the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe

What a thrill

With the wheels a singin' 'Westward Ho'

Right from the day I heard them start

'Cross the Kansas plains through New Mexico

I guess I've got a little gypsy in my heart

When I'm old and gray and settled down

If I ever get a chance to sneak away from town

Then I'll spend my busman's holiday

On the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe

All aboard

I can't believe I'm here at last

Woo oo ooo

Can't believe that anything would go so fast

Then you pull that throttle whistle blows

A huffin' and a puffin' and away she goes

All aboard for Californiay hey

On the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe
