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 atchison, topeka and the santa fe
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, woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-woo
hey jim, you better get out the rig, woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-woo
she's got a list of passengers that's pretty big
And they'll all want lifts to brown's hotel
'cause lots of them been travellin' for quite a spell
all the way from philadelphia
on the atchison, topeka and the santa fe
