(Beasley Smith)

Oh, that big black engine comes a puffin round the bend
Puffin round the bend, puffin round the bend
Oh, that big black engine comes a puffin round the bend
It s the Tennessee Central No. 9.

With her smokestack blazin she s a burnin up the wind
Burnin up the wind, burnin up the wind
With her smokestack blazin she s a burnin up the wind
It s the Tennessee Central No. 9.

Oh, that ol TC it s good enough for me
Let the flagman give that engineer the sign
Get a feelin I must go when I hear that whistle blow
On the Tennessee Central No. 9.

All aboard good people can t you hear that bell a ringin
Hear that bell a ringin , dongin and a dingin
All aboard good people can t you hear that bell a ringin
The Tennessee Central No. 9.

Gonna hit that mountain just a rockin and a reelin
Rockin and a reelin , moanin and a squealin
Gonna hit that mountain just a rockin and a reelin
On the Tennessee Central No. 9.

When she leaves the station she ll be pantin and a blowin
Pantin and a blowin , gettin and a goin
When she leaves the station she ll be pantin and a blowin
It s the Tennessee Central No. 9.

We ll roll into Knoxville just a shoutin and a singin
Shoutin and a singin , swayin and a swingin
We ll roll into Knoxville just a shoutin and a singin
On the Tennessee Central No. 9.

Oh, that ol TC it s good enough for me
Let the flagman give that engineer the sign
Get a feelin I must go when I hear that whistle blow
On the Tennessee Central No. 9...
