GOnce upon a time there was an CengineeGr,

GHe left the monkey sitting in the dA7river's sD7eat,

GThe monkey pulled the throttle the locomCotive jumped the gun,

 and at G90 miles an A7hour down the D7main line Grun.

Chorus

GThe big locomotive is Cright on Gtime,

Gthe big locomotive coming A7down the D7line,

GThe big locomotive number C99,

Gleft the enA7gineer with a D7worried Gmind.

The engineer got the dispatcher on the phone,

he told him all about his locomotive was gone,

he said get on the wire switch operator to right,

cause' the monkeys got the main line sewn up tight.

The switch operator got the message in time,

Said there's a north bound living on the same main line,

Open up the switch we gonna let him on through,

cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control.

REPEAT CHORUS

It is the same progression throughout the song.

Improvise and have fun with solos, repeats, etc.

A great and simple fun campfire song.
