On The Atchison, Topeka And The Santa Fe (Single Version)

On The Atchison, Topeka And The Santa Fe - Judy Garland/The Merry Macs

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 and the Santa Fe

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

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

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

On the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe
