G                           
Once upon a time there was an 
  C   G
engineer
G                       A7      D
Drove a locomotive both far and near
  G                               
Accompanied by a monkey who would 
C
sit on a stool
G             A7             D  
Watchin' everything the engineer
        G
 would move


G                              C 
One day the engineer wanted a 
     G
bite to eat
G                            
Left the monkey sittin' on the 
  A7       D
driver's seat
    G                          
The monkey pulled the draw, the 
 C

        G               A7        
And did ninety miles an hour down 
    D         G
the main line run

     (Chorus)
     G               C        G
     Big locomotive, right on time
     G                      A7    
     Big locomotive, comin' down 
   D
the line
     G                     
     Big locomotive, number 
 C
ninety-nine
     G            A7        
     Left the engineer with a 
  D       G
worried mind

     [Intro lick]

G                        
The engineer called up the 
  C                 G
dispatcher on the phone
G                      A7        
Tell him all about his locomotive
     D
 was gone
G                       C
Get on the wire, switch operator to 
write
           G                A7 
'Cause the monkey's got the main 
        D      G
line sewn up tight

G                       C         
Switch operator got the message in 
 G
time
G                                 
Said, "There's a north bound 
         A7        D
livin' on the same main line
G                             C
Open up the switch, I'm gonna let 
him through the hole
           G               
'Cause the monkey's got the 
 A7         D     G
locomotive under control!"
