(G)Watching every (A) thing the engi (D) neer would (G) move

One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat

He left the monkey sittin’ on the driver’s seat

The monkey pulled the throttle, locomotive jumped the gun

And did ninety miles an hour down the main line run

Big locomotive right on time

Big locomotive comin’ down the line

Big locomotive number ninety-nine

Left the engineer with a worried mind

G Thing A7 D7 G (See Tab below)

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
