On The Atchison, Topeka And The Sante Fe

This song was first released on the all aboard! album. it is the only album it has been released on.



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
