| 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 |
| 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 Thing A7 D7 G |
| 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... |
