G                             C     G
Once upon a time there was an engineer
                         A7        D7
Drove a locomotive both far and near
 G                                 C
Accompanied by a monkey who would sit on his stool
 G             A7          D7         G
Watching everything the engineer would move
 
 G                            C      G
One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat
                                   A7      D7
He left the monkey sittin' on the driver's seat
 G                                  C
The monkey pulled the throttle, locomotive jumped the gun
 G                        A7              D7      G
And did ninety miles an hour down the main line run
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  G              C       G
Big locomotive right on time
                       A7       D7
Big locomotive comin' down the line
 G                      C
Big locomotive number ninety-nine
 G          A7           D7      G
Left the engineer with a worried mind

 G                             C              G
The Engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone
                          A7           D7
Tell him all about his locomotive was gone
  G                          C
Get on the wire, switch operator to write
            G              A7         D7        G
Cause the monkey's got the main line sewed up tight
 
 G                       C          G
Switch operator got the message on time
                                          A7      D7
Said, there's a northbound livin' on the same main line
 G                             C
Open up the switch, I'm gonna let her through the hole
            G               A7        D7    G
Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  G              C       G
Big locomotive right on time
                       A7       D7
Big locomotive comin' down the line
 G                      C
Big locomotive number ninety-nine
 G          A7           D7      G
Left the engineer with a worried mind (worried mind, worried mind)
