Engine Engine Number 9

Roger Miller

Transposer:

verse 1: 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 verse 2: 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

La chanson évoque le chagrin d'un homme qui attend son ancienne amante, visiblement partie à Baltimore. Il se remémore la valise qu'elle portait et exprime sa frustration de ne pas l'avoir retrouvée. Malgré la proximité géographique, il ressent une grande distance émotionnelle, se demandant si elle ne l'aime plus. Il s'inquiète qu'elle puisse avoir trouvé un nouvel amour, ce qui le rend inquiet et triste. Le contexte est celui d'une rupture amoureuse, où les souvenirs et les craintes d'être remplacé sont omniprésents. Ce sentiment de perte et d'incertitude souligne la vulnérabilité humaine face aux relations.
