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 ol’ 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
Hey Jim, yuh better git the rig, ooh, ooh, ooh
She’s got a list o’ passengers that’s pretty big
And they’ll all want lifts to Brown’s Hotel
‘Cause lots o’ them been travelin’ for quite a spell
All the way from Philadelph-I-ay
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Sante Fe
