  			(G) Here she comes - look at her roll 
There she goes - eatin' that (D7) coal 
Watch her (G) fly - look at her sail 
let her by, by, (D7) by - it's the Fireball (G) Mail. 
 
CHORUS 
Let her go - look at her steam 
Hear her blow - whistle and scream 
Like a hound - waggin' his tail 
Dallas bound, bound, bound - 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 - the Fireball Mail. 
 
Watch her swerve - look at her sway 
Get that curve - out of the way 
Watch her fly - look at her sail 
Let her by, by, by - the Fireball Mail.
