This week the award goes to country/comedy singer and 1960s television host Roger Miller, and the feature song is Engine Engine Number Nine.
Engine, engine number nine
Comin’ down the railroad line
How much farther back did she get off?
Old brown suitcase that she carried
I’ve looked for it everywhere
It just ain’t here among the rest
And I’m a little upset, yes… tell meEngine, engine number nine
Comin’ down the railroad line
I know she got on in Baltimore
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
A hundred and ten miles ain’t much distance
But it sure do make a difference
I don’t think she loves me anymoreI warned her of the dangers
Don’t speak to strangers
Did by chance she find new romance?
Warmer lips to kiss her?
Arms to hold her tighter?
Stirring new fires inside her
How I wish that it was me instead
Of he that stands beside herEngine, engine number nine
Comin’ down the railroad line
I know she got on in Baltimore
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
A hundred and ten miles ain’t much distance
But it sure do make a difference
I don’t think she loves me anymoreI don’t think she loves me anymore
I don’t think she loves me, I don’t think she loves me anymore…
Samuel
