[Verse 1]
G C G Once upon a time there was an engineer G A7 D Drove a locomotive both far and near G C Accompanied by a monkey who would sit on a stool G A7 D G Watchin' everything the engineer would move
[Verse 2]
G C G One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat G A7 D He left the monkey sittin' on the driver's seat G C The monkey pulled the throttle; locomotive jumped the gun G A7 D G And did ninety miles an hour down the main line run
[Chorus]
G C G Big locomotive, right on time G A7 D Big locomotive, comin' down the line G C Big locomotive, number ninety-nine G A7 D G Left the engineer with a worried mind
[Intro Lick]
[Verse 3]
G C G The engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone G A7 D Tell him all about his locomotive was gone G C Get on the wire, switch operator to right G A7 D G 'Cause the monkey's got the main line sewed up tight
[Verse 4]
G C G Switch operator got the message in time G A7 D Said, "There's a north bound limited on the same main line G C Open up the switch, I'm gonna let him through the hole G A7 D G 'Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control!"
[Chorus]
G C G Big locomotive, right on time G A7 D Big locomotive, comin' down the line G C Big locomotive, number ninety-nine G A7 D G Left the engineer with a worried mind
