(tune of verse):

T'was in the year of '89 on that old Chicago line,
When the winter wind was blowin' shrill,
The rails were froze, the wheels were cold, and then the air brakes wouldn't hold,
And Number 9 came roaring down the hill -- oh!

 The  runaway train come down the track and she blew,
The runaway train came down the track and she blew,
The runaway train come down the track, her whistle wide and her throttle back,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.

The engineer said the train must halt and she blew,
The engineer said the train must halt and she blew,

And she blew -ew, blew, blew, blew.

Instrumental (tune of verse):

Oh 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, blew, blew, blew, blew.

#4:
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, blew, blew, blew, blew.

The fireman tried to shovel the coal and she blew
The fireman tried to shovel the coal but he opened the door and fell in the hole
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.

The porter got an awful fright and she blew,
The porter got an awful fright -- he got so scared that he turned white,
And she blew -ew, blew, blew, blew.

Oh, a mule was standing in the way and she blew,
A mule was standing in the way and she blew,
A mule was standing in the way and all they found was just his bray,
And she blew -ew, blew, blew, blew.

A drummer sat in the parlor car and she blew
A drummer sat in the parlor car and she blew
A drummer sat in the parlor car and he nearly swallowed a fat cigar
And she blew blew, blew, blew, blew.

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 going still,
And she blew -ew, blew, blew, blew
