Monkey and the Engineer(Live) - Grateful Dead

作词：Jesse Fuller

Once upon a time there was an engineer

Drove a locomotive both far and near

Accompanied by a monkey

who sit on a stool

Watching everything the engineer would 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 ９０ miles an hour

down the mainline run

Big locomotive right on time

Big locomotive coming down the line

Big locomotive no ９９

Left the engineer with a worried mind

The engineer called up the dispatcher

on the phone

To tell him all about his locomotive was gone

Get on the wire switch operator to the right

'Cause the monkey's got the main line

sewed up tight

Switch operator got the message on time

Said there's a northbound

livin' on the same main line

Open up the switch

I'm gonna let him through the hole

'Cause the monkey's got the locomotive

under control

Big locomotive right on time

Big locomotive coming down the line

Big locomotive no ９９

Left the engineer with a worried mind

Worried mind

Worried mind

Big locomotive right on time

Big locomotive coming down the line

Big locomotive no ９９

Left the engineer with a worried mind

Left the engineer with a worried mind

Left the engineer with a worried mind
