Mr. Engineer, slow the engine down some more
You're movin' just a little too fast
I've got my foot down clear to the floor

Steam engine, Engine 99
Steam drivers, rollin' right on by

Mr. Engineer, you see I've got a little problem here
My baby, she's aboard your train
She says she's never comin' back again

Steam engine, Engine 99
Steam drivers, rollin' right on by

She told me good bye, she said I'm leavin' you behind
I think I'm gonna die, if I hear that whistle whine

Mr. Engineer, slow the engine down some more
You're movin' movin' just a little too fast
I've got my foot down clear to the floor

Steam engine, Engine 99
Steam drivers, rollin' right on by

(Steam engines)Gotta keep on keep on rollin'
(Steam engines)She's gonna leave me behind
(Steam engines)I might as well go home
(Steam engines)She's gonna leave me behind
(Steam engines)I might as well go home
