Tennessee Central (Number Nine) Songtext
von Ferlin Husky

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.


Instrumental

When we leave the station she'll be pantin′ and a blowin'
Pantin′ and a blowin', gettin′ and a goin'
When we leave 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.
