Lyrics
(Traditional chant)
Engine, engine number nine
Going down Chicago line
See it sparkle, see it shine
Engine, engine number nine
Version with Melody
Lyrics
(Folk song)
Engine, engine number nine,
Going down Chicago line,
If she’s polished, won’t she shine?
Engine, engine number nine,
All aboard!
