[Verse]

G                           
Once upon a time there was an 
  C     G
engineer
                         A7        
Drove a locomotive both far and 
D7
near
 G                               
Accompanied by a monkey who would 
  C
sit on his stool
 G             A7          D7    
Watching everything the engineer 
     G
would move

 G                            C   
One day the engineer wanted a bite
   G
 to eat
He left the monkey sittin' on the 
 A7      D7
driver's seat
 G                             
The monkey pulled the throttle, 
     C
locomotive jumped the gun
 G                        A7      
And did ninety miles an hour down 
        D7      G
the main line run


[Chorus]

  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

[Verse]

 G                        
The Engineer called up the 
     C              G
dispatcher on the phone
                          A7     
Tell him all about his locomotive 
      D7
was gone
  G                          C
Get on the wire, switch operator to 
write
            G              A7     
Cause the monkey's got the main 
    D7        G
line sewed up tight

 G                       C        
Switch operator got the message on
  G
 time
Said, there's a northbound livin' on
      A7      D7
 the same main line
 G                             C
Open up the switch, I'm gonna let 
her through the hole
            G             
Cause the monkey's got the 
  A7        D7    G
locomotive under control


[Chorus]

  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      
Left the engineer with a worried 
G
mind (worried mind, worried mind)
