Monkey and the Engineer (Live) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)

Once upon a time there was an engineer

Drove a locomotive both far and near

Accompanied by a monkey that would sit on a stool

Watching everything the engineer would do

One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat

He left the monkey sitting on the driver's seat

The monkey pulled the throttle the locomotive jumped the gun

And did 90 miles an hour down the mainline run

Big locomotive right on time

Big locomotive coming down the line

Big locomotive no 99

Left the engineer with a worried mind

The engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone

To tell him all about his locomotive was gone

Get on the wire switch operator to the right

'Cause the monkey's got the main line sewed up tight

Switch operator got the message on time

Said there's a northbound livin' on the same main line

Open up the switch I'm gonna let him through the hole

'Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control

Big locomotive right on time

Big locomotive coming down the line

Big locomotive no 99

Left the engineer with a worried mind

Worried mind

Worried mind

Locomotive right on time

Big locomotive coming down the line

Big locomotive no 99

Left the engineer with a worried mind

Left the engineer with a worried mind

Left the engineer with a worried mind
