On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe Lyrics
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe (1) - Judy Garland
What a lovely trip
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 travelled 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 fade away
On the atchison topeka and the santa fe
What a thrill what a great big wonderful thrill
With the wheels a singin' westward ho
Right from the day I heard them start
Cross the kansas plains from new mexico
I guess I've got a little gypsy in my heart
When I'm old and grey 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 we came across the country lickety split
Rollin' ninety miles an hour
I can't believe I'm here at last
When you go travellin' it's best for you
To take the atchison topeka and the santa fe
I can't believe that anything could go so fast
Then you pull that throttle whistle blows
A huffin' and a puffin' and away she goes
All aboard for california hey
On the atchison topeka on the atchison topeka
