On The Atchison Topeka And Santa Fe lyrics

On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe

 Bing Crosby

 Words by Johnny Mercer, music by Harry Warren

 

 "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe" was introduced by Judy Garland
in

 the 1945 MGM film "The Harvey Girls". The song won an Oscar. It was also a
big

 hit for Bing Crosby who recorded it Feb. 17, 1944, although the recording
was

 not released until June 1945. But Johnny Mercer's recording was the biggest
hit.

 It reached #1 in the summer of 1945. The following lyrics were transcribed
from

 the Bing Crosby recording.

 

 Do you hear that whistle down the line

 I figure that it's engine number forty-nine

 She's the only one that'll sound that way

 On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe

 

 See the old smoke risin' 'round the bend

 I reckon that she knows she's gonna meet a friend

 Folks around these parts get the time of day

 From the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe

 

 Here she comes, woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-woo

 Hey Jim, you better get out the rig, woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-woo

 She's got a list of passengers that's pretty big

 

 And they'll all want lifts to Brown's Hotel

 'Cause lots of them been travellin' for quite a spell

 All the way from Philadelphia

 On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe

 

 ------ instrumental break ------

 

 Do you hear that whistle down the line

 I figure that it's engine number forty-nine

 She's the only one that'll sound that way

 On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe

 

 See the old smoke risin' 'round the bend

 I reckon that she knows she's gonna meet a friend

 Folks around these parts get the time of day

 From the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe

 

 Here she comes, woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-woo

 Hey Jim, you better get out the rig, woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-woo

 She's got a list of passengers that's pretty big

 And they'll all want lifts to Brown's Hotel

 'Cause lots of them been travellin' for quite a spell

 All the way from Philadelphia

 On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe

 

 On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe

 On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe

 On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe

 Doo-doo-da, The good old A.T. and the Santa Fe
