Engine Engine #9 Lyrics By Roger Miller

    engine engine no 9 coming down the railroad line
    how much farther back did she get off
    old brown suitcase that she carried i’ve looked for it everywhere
    it just ain’t here among the rest and i’m a little upset

    yes tell me engine engine no 9 coming down the railroad line
    i know she got on in baltimore
    a hundred and ten miles ain’t much distance but
    it sure do make a difference i don’t think she loves me anymore

    i warned her of the dangers don’t speak to strangers
    if by chance she find new romance warmer lips to kiss her
    arms to hold her tighter stirring new fires inside her
    how i wish that it was me instead of he that stands beside her

    engine engine no 9 coming down the railroad line
    i know she got on in baltimore
    a hundred and ten miles ain’t much distance
    but it sure do make a difference i don’t think she loves me anymore

    no i don’t think she loves me anymore
    i don’t think she loves me anymore
