John Denver - On The Atchison, Topeka & The Sante Fe Lyrics
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 lineI figure that its engine number 49Shes the only one thatll sound that wayOn the atchison, topeka and the santa feSee the old smoke rising round the bendI reckon that she knows shes gonna meet a friendFolks around these parts set the time of dayFrom the atchison, topeka and the santa feHere she comes whoo oo oo ooHey jim, you better get the rig whoo oo oo ooShes got a list of passengers thats pretty bigAnd theyll all want a lift to browns hotelcause lots of them been traveling for quite a spellAll the way from philadel phi aOn the atchison, topeka and the santa feAll aboard! all aboard!Let her rip, let her rip, mr. engineerGotta go, gotta go far away from hereWhile the man at the fire, shovels in the coalsStick your head out the cab and watch the drivers rollSee the towns and the roads go a whizzing byFare-the-well laramie and rocky mountain highYes sirree, here we are, going all the wayMustnt quit till we hit califor ni aSee the old smoke rising round the bendI reckon that she knows shes gonna meet a friendFolks around these parts set the time of dayFrom the atchison, topeka and the santa feWords and music by johnny mercer and harry warren
