Engine Engine Number Nine Lyrics by Joe Tex

Soul Country

0

[Intro]
Alright, come on
Uh!
[Verse 1]
Engine, engine number nine
Comin' down on 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 just a little upset, yes
[Chorus]
Engine, engine number nine
Comin' down the railroad line
I know she got off 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
[Verse 2]
I warned her of danger
I used to tell her about meetin' strangers
Wonder if by chance if she found a new romance
Warmer lips to kiss her, arms that'll hold her tighter
Stirring fire up inside her
Oh, how I wished it was me instead of he
That's standing somewhere right now beside her, ha
Oh, a little upset, now
[Chorus]
Engine, engine number nine
Comin' down on the railroad line
I know she got off in Baltimore
A hundred and ten miles ain't much distance, ha
But it sure do make a difference
I don't think she loves me anymore, huh!
[Outro]
A hundred and ten miles ain't much distance
But it sure do make a difference
I don't think she loves me anymore
And I don't think she love me anymore
Ha, Engine, engine number nine
