Roy acuff tennessee central no.9 lyrics

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

[ fiddle ]

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

[ harmonica ]

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...
