The Engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone

Tell him all about his locomotive was gone

Get on the wire, switch operator to write

Cause the monkey's got the main line sewed up tight

Switch operator got the message on time

Said, there's a northbound livin' on the same main line

Open up the switch, I'm gonna let her through the hole

Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control

Big locomotive right on time

Big locomotive comin' down the line

Big locomotive number ninety-nine

Left the engineer with a worried mind
                                                    *Solo*   (verse (x2))

Big locomotive right on time

Big locomotive comin' down the line

Big locomotive number ninety-nine

Left the engineer with a worried mind

Left the engineer with a worried mind...
