(A)
Here she comes - look at her roll
                             (E)
There she goes - eatin' that coal
           (A)                (D)
Watch her fly - look at her sail
        (A)                     (E)        (A)
Let her by, by, by - it's the Fireball Mail.




Let her go - look at her steam
                            (E)
Hear her blow - whistle and scream
       (A)                   (D)
Like a hound - waggin' his tail
       (A)                         (E)         (A)
Dallas bound, bound, bound - the Fireball Mail.



Engineer - makin' up time
                               (E)
Tracks are clear - look at her climb
          (A)                      (D)
See that freight - clearin' the rail
           (A)                     (E)         (A)
Bet she's late, late, late - the Fireball Mail.



Watch her swerve - look at her sway
                            (E)
Get that curve - out of the way
          (A)                 (D)
Watch her fly - look at her sail
         (A)                (E)       (A)
Let her by, by, by - the Fireball Mail.
