                    Once upon a time there was an engineer
                                                              A7        D7
                    Drove a locomotive both far and near

                    Accompanied by a monkey who would sit on his stool

                    Watching everything the engineer would move

                    One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat

                    He left the monkey sittin' on the driver's seat
                     G                                                   C

                                      Big locomotive right on time
                                                                      A7         D7
                                     Big locomotive comin' down the line
                                        G                                C

                    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

                                      G                   A7               D7         G
                                      Left the engineer with a worried mind

                                      Left the engineer with a worried mind...
