Engine Engine No.9 Lyrics - Roger Miller

Engine, engine number nine 

Comin' down the railroad line 

How much farther back did she get off? 

Old brown suitcase that she carried 

I've looked for it everywhere, it 

Just ain't here among the rest, and 

I'm a little upset, yes, tell me 

Engine, engine number nine 

Comin' down the railroad line 

I know she got on in Baltimore 

A hundred and ten miles ain't much distance 

But it sure do make a difference 

I don't think she loves me anymore 

I warned her of the dangers 

Don't speak to strangers, if by 

Chance she finds new romance 

Warmer lips to kiss her 

Arms to hold her tighter 

Stirring new fires inside her 

How I wish that it was me, instead of he 

That stands beside her 

Engine, engine number nine 

Comin' down the railroad line 

I know she got on in Baltimore 

A hundred and ten miles ain't much distance 

But it sure do make a difference 

I don't think she loves me anymore
