On The Atchison, Topeka & The Santa Fe

written by：johnny mercer

do you hear that whistle down the line

i figure that it's engine number forty nine

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 a friend

folks around these parts get the time of day

from the atchison topeka and the santa fe

here she comes woo oo woo oo woo oo woo oo woo woo

hey jim you better get the rig

woo oo woo oo woo oo woo oo woo woo

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 travelin' for quite a spell

all the way from philadelphia

on the atchison topeka and the santa fe

let her rip let her rip mister engineer

gotta go gotta go far away from here

while the man at the fire shovels on the coal

stick your head out the cab watch the driver roll

see the towns the roads go whipping by

farethewell laramie albuquerque high

yessire here we are

going all the way

won't quit til we hit california

on the atchison topeka santa fe

on the atchison topeka santa fe

here she comes

hey jim you better get the rig oooh

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 atchinson topeka the santa fe
