On The Atchison, Topeka And The Santa Fe Lyrics - John Denver

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
