Lyrics and translation Don Gibson - Fireball Mail

Fireball Mail

Here she comes, look at her roll
There she goes eatin' that coal
Watch her fly, look at her sail
Let her by, by, by, it's the fireball mail

Engineer makin' up time
Tracks are clear look at her climb
See that freight clearin' the rail
Bet she's late, late, late, it's the fireball mail

Watch her go, look at her steam
Hear her blow whistle and scream
Like a hound that's a waggin' his tail
She's Dallas bound, bound, bound, it's the fireball mail

Now watch her swerve, look at her sway
Get that curve out of the way
Watch her fly, just look at her sail
Let her by, by, by, it's the fireball mail
It's the fireball mail
It's the fireball mail

Courrier Feu

La voilà, regarde-la rouler
Elle avale du charbon, tu vois
Regarde-la voler, regarde-la naviguer
Laisse-la passer, c'est le courrier feu

Le mécanicien rattrape le temps perdu
Les voies sont libres, regarde-la grimper
Tu vois ce fret qui dégage la voie
Je parie qu'elle est en retard, c'est le courrier feu

Regarde-la partir, regarde-la fumer
Entends son sifflet hurler
Comme un chien qui remue la queue
Elle file vers Dallas, c'est le courrier feu

Regarde-la virer, regarde-la se balancer
Sors cette courbe de son chemin
Regarde-la voler, regarde-la naviguer
Laisse-la passer, c'est le courrier feu
C'est le courrier feu
C'est le courrier feu
