I heard a great jazzy Mercer song the other day about travelling on the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad. Dj said it was from a musical. That's all I caught. Anyone know that name, and if its on a CD?

Hello Steve:
I wonder if you can tell me which version of the lyrics is the original.

On the Achison.. by Nancy LaMott and Mary Cleere Haran.

Thanks!

posted lyrics for educational and research use only:

Do yuh hear that whis-tle down the line?-
I fig-ure that it's en-gine num-ber for-ty nine,-
She's the on-ly one that-'ll sound that way.-
On The Atch-i-son To-pe-ka and The San-ta fe-
See the ol' smoke ris-in' 'round the bend,-
I reck-on that she knows she's gon-na meet a friend,-
Folks a-round these parts get the time o'day-From The
Atch-i-son, To-pe-ka and the San-ta Fe.- Here she comes!____
Ooh,- Ooh,- Ooh,- Hey, Jim, yuh bet-ter git the rig!-
Ooh,-Ooh,-Ooh,___She's got a list o' pas-sen-gers that's pret-ty big- And they'll all
want lifts to Brown's Ho-tel,- 'Cause lots o'them been trav-el-in' for quite a spell,-
All the way from Phil-a-del-phi-ay,- On The Atch-i-son, To-pe-ka And The San-ta Fe.- Do yuh San-ta Fe.-

Can anyone help me find the lyrics to the Mercer rendition of On the Atchison, Tpoeka and the Santa Fe, in particular to the bridge section that starts with the line " Let er rip, let er rip, Mr Engineer"? Many thanks.
