7 ContributorsEngine Engine #9 Lyrics “Engine, Engine #9” by Roger Miller appears on his 1965 album, The 3rd Time Around. This is a song about love lost, and accepting the consequences. Engine, Engine No. 9, coming 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 me Engine, Engine No. 9, coming down the railroad line I know she got on in Baltimore A hundred and ten miles ain't much distance, but It sure do make a difference, I don't think she loves me anymore I warned her of the dangers, don't speak to strangers If 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 her Engine, Engine No. 9, coming down the railroad line I know she got on in Baltimore A hundred and ten miles ain't much distance But it sure do make a difference, I don't think she loves me anymore No, I don't think she loves me anymore I don't think she loves me anymore Songwriter: Roger Miller
