Lyrics

'Twas in the year of '89
On that old Chicago line
When the winter wind was blowin' shrill
The winds were froze, the wheels were cold
Then the air brakes wouldn't hold
And Number 9 came roarin' down the hill
The runaway train came down the track
And she blew
The runaway train came down the track
And she blew
The runaway train came down the track
Her whistle wide and her throttle black
And she blew-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
The engineer said the train must halt
And she blew
The engineer said the train must halt
And she blew
The engineer said the train must halt
He said it was all the fireman's fault
And she blew-oo-oo-oo-oo
Now, the fireman said he rang the bell
And she blew
The fireman said he rang the bell
And she blew
The fireman said he rang the bell
The engineer said, "You did, like!"
And she blew-oo-oo-oo-oo
The porter got an awful fright
And she blew
The porter got an awful fright
And she blew
The porter got an awful fright
He got so scared he near turned white
And she blew-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
The conductor said there'd be a wreck
And she blew
The conductor said there'd be a wreck
And she blew
The conductor said there'd be a wreck
And he felt the chills run up his neck
And she blew-oo-oo-oo-oo
The runaway train went over the hill
And she blew
The runaway train went over the hill
And she blew
The runaway train went over the hill
And the last we heard she was goin' still
And she blew-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
