TEXAS 1947
E                          G
Bein' six years old I had seen some trains before
         A                       B7               E
So it's hard to figure out what I'm at the depot for
                                              G
Trains are big and black and smokin' steam screamin' at the wheels
A                                B7                  E
Bigger'n anything there is least that's the way she feels
            B7   
Trains are big and black and smokin' louder'n July 4th
     A                            B7                 E
But everybody's actin' like this might be something more
                                        G
Than just pickin' up the mail or the soldiers from the war
         A                                B7          E
This is somethin' even old man Wileman's never seen before
BRIDGE:
          F
And it's late afternoon on a hot Texas day
                     A                 B7         E
Somethin' strange is goin' on and we's all in the way
                           G
There are 50 or 60 people just sittin' on their cars
         A                              B7                 E
And the ole men left their dominos and come down from the bars
E                               G
Everybody's checkin' old Jack Kittrell checks his watch
        A                         B7              E
And us kids put our ears to the rails to hear 'em pop
   B7 
So we already knowed it when they finally said train time
            A                             B7              E
You'd've thought that Judgment Day was rollin' down the line
E                                G
Cause things got real quiet and mama jerked me back
    A                                      B7            E
But not before I get the chance to lay a nickel on the track
CHORUS:
                                      A
Look out here she comes she's comin' look out there she goes she's gone
B7                                      A             E
Screamin' straight through Texas like a mad dog cyclone
B7
Big and red and silver she don't lay no smoke
         A                       B7                E
She's a fast rollin' streamline come to show the folks
       E                                     A
I said look out here she comes she's comin' look out there she goes she's gone
B7                                      A            E
Screamin' straight through Texas like a mad dog cyclone

E
Lord she never even stopped
                                 G
She left 50 or 60 people still sittin' on their cars
A                                 B7               E
Wonderin' what it's comin' to and how it got this far
                               G
And me I got a nickel smashed flatter than a dime
      A                    B7                E
By a mad dog runaway red silver streamline train
CHORUS:
                                      A
Look out here she comes she's comin' look out there she goes she's gone
B7                                      A             E
Screamin' straight through Texas like a mad dog cyclone
B7
Big and red and silver she don't lay no smoke
         A                       B7                E
She's a fast rollin' streamline come to show the folks                                                                  
                                      A
Look out here she comes she's comin' look out there she goes she's gone
B7                                      A             E
Screamin' straight through Texas like a mad dog cyclone

                                      A
Look out here she comes she's comin' look out there she goes she's gone
B7                                      A             E
Screamin' straight through Texas like a mad dog cyclone

I think Johnny Cash does this better than anyone.
