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
All aboard, she's on her way
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
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Hey, Jim, you better get the rig
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
She's got a list of passengers that's mighty 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 Philadelphi-ay
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe
Oh, Judy
Yes?
Will you take a second chorus?
Okay, boys, that I'll do
Oh, Judy
Hmm?
If we find the right spot
Can we come in with you?
Why, sure
Thanks a lot
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
She never thought she'd see the day she'd ride the Santa Fe
I would lean across my window sill
And hear the whistle echoin' across the hill
Then I'd watch the lights 'til they fade away
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe
The Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe
What a thrill
With the wheels a-singin' "Westward Ho"
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
Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe
Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
