Hear that engine rattle out a melody
hear it singing:
"Ain't you coming home to me,"
Go on you mile a minute dream
Go on you wagon full of steam.
Call on me at Louisville,
I'll treat you fine.
Can't you stop at Louisville
on this here line.
It's wicked this ticket
says I get there at nine,
Oh mister

Make that engine stop at Louisville
Don't you take me too far
I'll get off and walk if you stand still
There's my Ma and my Pa
Engineer oh for goodness sake
Can't you hear
put on all your brakes
stop the train,
stop the train,
Please let me off,
let me off I'm home again
Oh, make that engine go slow
for a minute or so
when you're climbing that old Kentucky Hill
I sent my folks a telegram
they'll wonder where the deuce I am
just make that engine stop at Louisville.

Make that engine stop at Louisville
Don't you take me too far
I'll get off and walk if you stand still
There's my Ma and my Pa
Engineer oh for goodness sake
Can't you hear
put on all your brakes
stop the train,
stop the train,
Please let me off,
let me off I'm home again
Oh, make that engine go slow
for a minute or so
when you're climbing that old Kentucky Hill
I sent my folks a telegram
they'll wonder where the deuce I am
just make that engine stop at Louisville.

Mammy will be waiting for me I suppose
She'll be saying:
"Here he comes and there he goes,"
Hey! listen blow your whistle shrill
Hey! listen ain't this Louisville?
When we pass that cabin
let me steal a glance.
Just you let me warn you right here in advance
I'll hop off I'll drop off
If you give me a chance,
Oh mister

Make that engine stop at Louisville
Don't you take me too far
I'll get off and walk if you stand still
There's my Ma and my Pa
Engineer oh for goodness sake
Can't you hear
put on all your brakes
stop the train,
stop the train,
Please let me off,
let me off I'm home again
Oh, make that engine go slow
for a minute or so
when you're climbing that old Kentucky Hill
I sent my folks a telegram
they'll wonder where the deuce I am
just make that engine stop at Louisville.

Make that engine stop at Louisville
Don't you take me too far
I'll get off and walk if you stand still
There's my Ma and my Pa
Engineer oh for goodness sake
Can't you hear
put on all your brakes
stop the train,
stop the train,
Please let me off,
let me off I'm home again
Oh, make that engine go slow
for a minute or so
when you're climbing that old Kentucky Hill
I sent my folks a telegram
they'll wonder where the deuce I am
just make that engine stop at Louisville.
