The Monkey And The Engineer - Jesse Fuller Written by：Jesse Fuller Once upon a time an engineer had a monkey And everywhere he go He take the litle monkey along so The monkey will watch everything the engineer would do So one day the engineer had to go himself He needs so the monkey got tired waitin' So he taught he trapped the trollin' down the rolly wind Once upon a time there was an engineer Drove a locomotive boat far and near Accompanied by a monkey that sit on a stool Watching everything that the engineer do One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat He left the monkey sitting on the driver's seat The monkey pulled the throttle The locomotive jumped the gun And did eighty miles an hour on the main line run With the big locomotive just in time The big locomotive coming down the line The big locomotive number ninety nine Left the engineer with a worried mind The engineer but called up the dispatcher on the phone To tell him all about his locomotive was gone He get the wire switch dispatcher to the right 'Cause the monkeys got the main line sewed up tight The switch operator got the message on time Said there's a northbound limit on the same main line Open the switch I'm gonna let him through the hole 'Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control Where big locomotive right on time Big locomotive coming down the line Big locomotive number ninety nine Left the engineer with a worried mind Left the engineer with a worried mind
