(Tune Yankee, Doodle) I met an engine on a hill All hot and broken hearted And this is what he said to me As up the hill he started
I think I can, I think I can (Slowing down during this verse) At any note I’ll try it I think I can, I think I can, At any rate I’ll try it
He reached the top and looking back To where he stood and doubted He started on the downward track And this is what he shouted
I knew I could, I knew I could (Get faster and faster) I never should have doubted I knew I could, I knew I could I never should have doubted
