On The Atchison, Topeka & The Sante Fe Lyrics - John Denver

Do you hear that whistle down the line? 

I figure that its engine number forty-nine 

Shes the only one thatll sound that way 

On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe 

See the old smoke rising round the bend 

I reckon that she knows shes gonna meet a friend 

Folks around these parts set the time of day 

From the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe 

Here she comes 

Hey Jim, you better get the rig 

Shes got a list of passengers thats pretty big

And theyll all want a lift to Browns 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 outta 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 

Mustnt quit till we hit Califor ni a
