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   "Hey Jim, you'd better get the rig"   Woo      She's got a list of passengers that's pretty big   And they'll all want lifts to Browns Hotel   'Cause of lots of them been travelin' for quite a spell   All the way from Philadelphia   On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe      Here she comes   Woo   "Hey Jim, you'd better get the rig"   Woo      You know she's got a list of passengers that's pretty big   And they'll all want lifts to [Incomprehensible] Browns Hotel   'Cause of lots of them been travelin' for quite a spell   All the way from Philadelphia   On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe
