Lyrics Tennessee Central #9 - Roy Acuff

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
