Lyrics

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
