Hi All,
Recently heard a tune in kind of a storytelling, bluegrass/ country tone that was about an engineer who had a monkey who watched him and learned how to run his loco. Anyway the monkey steals the locomotive and on the story goes.
I only got to hear part of it.
Anyone ever hear of a song like that??
Can you name it??
Thanks, Bill
The Monkey and the Engineer, see many versions of it on YouTube.

I was going to post that.
It is rare when I cannot find a song on You Tube.

This song was written by Jesse Fuller a famous one man band from the San Francisco Bay Area. It was most notably covered by The Grateful Dead who did it a lot in their concerts. Jesse also wrote San Francisco Bay Blues which made him famous.

The Grateful Dead version is probably the best listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhXrRv_zsPM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhXrRv_zsPM)

Thanks for all the replies and links, I guess I could have guessed the name was "monkey and the engineer" but that was too simple ;D.
Listened to all the links and found many more!
Appreciate the help.
