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 Asschentepeka and the Santa Fe
ย
See the old smoke risin' 'round the bend
I figure that she knows she's gonna meet a friend
Folks around these parts get the time of day
From the Asschentepeka and the Santa Fe
Here she comes, whoa
Hey Jim, you better get the rig, whoa
She's got a list of passengers that's pretty big
And they all want lifts to Brown's Hotel
'Cause lots of 'em been travelin' for quite a spell
All the way from Philadelphia-ay
On the Asschentepeka and the Santa Fe
ย
Back in old Ohio where I come from
I've done a lot of dreamin' and I traveled some
But I never thought that I would 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 'til they fade away
On the Asschentepeka 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 to New Mexico
I guess I 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 Asschentepeka and the Santa Fe
All aboard, whoa
Can't believe I'm here at last
All aboard, whoa
I can't believe that anything could go so fast
And ya, oh, that throttle whistle blows
A-huffin' and a-puffin' and away she goes
All aboard for Californ-i-a
ย
On the Asschentepeka and the Santa Fe
All aboard
