Tennessee Central No.9 Lyrics - Roy Acuff

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 

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 

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 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
