The Mormon Engineer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F][C][G][C]
[G]Old[C] Zacky come to Utah,
way back in [G]73
A [C]right good Mormon gentlemen and
a bishop [G]too was [C]he
He drove a locomotive for
the Denver and [G]RG
With [C]women he was popular,
and as active [G]as can [C]be
And [F]when he whistled

[Verse 2]
woo woo
[C]mamma'd under[G]stand
That [C]Za ck was heading homewards on
the [G]Denver Rio [C]Grande[F]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]
[C]Oh Zacky had at least one
wife in every railroad [G]town
No [C]matter where he stopped at night he'd
a place to [G]lay 'em [C]down
When his train was on the
move he'd want to [G]girls to know
So [C]as he passed each wife's abode
the whistle [G]he would [C]blow
And [F]when he whistled woo woo

[Verse 4]
[C]
mamma'd under[G]stand
That [C]Za ck was heading homewards on
the [G]Denver Rio [C]Grande
[F][C][G][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]
[C]Oh Zacky claimed to love them
all, and love them all the [G]same
But [C]there was one he loved the most, he
blushed to [G]speak her [C]name
So when he passed her home he'd blow
the whistle special [G]loud
She'd [C]climb the porch, she'd blow a
kiss, and Za[G]ck was extra [C]proud

[Verse 6]
And [F]when he whistled woo woo
[C]mamma'd under[G]stand
That [C]Za ck was heading homewards on
the Denver [G]Rio [C]Grande[F]
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 7]
[C]One day he got a letter
from the AT and [G]Santa Fe
They [C]offered him a better job and
a whopping [G]raise in [C]pay
Old Zack says no I'll never go and
leave my wives be[G]hind
My [C]engines getting much to
slow to [G]start another [C]line
And [F]when he whistled

[Verse 8]
woo woo
[C]mamma'd under[G]stand
That [C]Za ck was heading homewards on
the [G]Denver Rio [C]Grande[F]
[C][G][C][G][C]
