"On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe" was introduced by Judy Garland in

the 1945 MGM film "The Harvey Girls". The song won an Oscar. It was also a big
9
hit for Bing Crosby who recorded it Feb. 17, 1944, although the recording was
10
not released until June 1945. But Johnny Mercer's recording was the biggest hit.
11
It reached #1 in the summer of 1945. The following lyrics were transcribed from
12
the Bing Crosby recording.
13
Do you hear that whistle down the line
14
I figure that it's engine number forty-nine
15
She's the only one that'll sound that way
16
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe
17
See the old smoke risin' 'round the bend
18
I reckon that she knows she's gonna meet a friend
19
Folks around these parts get the time of day
20
From the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe
21
Here she comes, woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-woo
22
Hey Jim, you better get out the rig, woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-oo-woo-woo
23
She's got a list of passengers that's pretty big
24
And they'll all want lifts to Brown's Hotel
25
'Cause lots of them been travellin' for quite a spell
26
All the way from Philadelphia
27
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe
