Engine No. 9. Pickett

---

Engine, engine number 9
Can you get me back on time?
Move on, move on down the track
Keep that steam comin' out the stack

Huh, keep on movin', keep on movin'
Keep on movin', OW

Engine, engine number 9
Keep on movin' down the line
Seems like I've been gone for days
I can't wait to see my baby's face

Look here, been so long since I held her
Been so long since I held her, OW

Instrumental bridge
(rock/jazz improv)

Been so long since I held her
Been so long since I kissed her, OW

Engine, engine number 9
Move on, move on down the line
Seems like I've been gone for days
I can't wait to see my baby's face

Move on, move on, OW
Move on, OW
Good God Almighty, got to get there
Ha, huh, ha

Oh, this soundin' alright?

I think I'm gonna hold it a little bit longer
I'm gonna let the boys cook this a little bit
Uh

Long instrumental/vocal outro
(rock-jazz improv)
