| 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-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-woo |
| Hey Jim, you better get out the rig, woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-woo |
| She’s got a list of passengers that’s pretty big |
| And they’ll all want lifts to Brown’s Hotel |
| 'Cause lots of them been travellin' for quite a spell |
| All the way from Philadelphia |
| On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe |
