CAPO 4 (G)She pulled outta Mobile in the pourin' rain Movin' through the darkness like a hurricane From (C)southern gulf port waters to the (D)Cumberlands so green (G)Lousiville by Nashville and all points in between (C)Poundin' out a rhythm (D)makin' up lost time (G)Headin' for that Bluegrass state of mine CHORUS: (C)White smoke a-rollin' whistle a blowin' Listen to her engine keepin' (D)time Kentucky border-(G)-line Montgomery by mornin' Birmingham by noon Onward through the timber upward to the moon Her lonesome whistle cries a low sad refrain Like the boys down on Beale Street singin' of the pain No one is gonna stop her from her appointed rounds This train is movin' on she's glory bound CHORUS Her lungs are full of fire breathin' burnin' coal A-ragin' locomotion like thunder when it rolls Singin' for the mighty who cast her molten steel Drove the spike and laid the rail to ride beneath her wheels The pride of our nation she's a monument to them A Southern belle that mighty L & N CHORUS x 2
