FIREBALL MAIL
Recorded by Roy Acuff
Written by Floyd Jenkins (aka Fred Rose)

CHORUS
Note. See comments below.
[G] Here she comes - [Em] look at her [G] roll
There she goes - [Em] eatin' that [D] coal
Watch her [C] fly - huggin the [G] rail
Let her [Em] by, [G] by, [D] by, the Fireball [G] Mail.

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.

CHORUS

FWIW:
[Em & C] chords not on Roy Acuff version.         
Heard this upbeat bluegrass style version done locally.

It reminded me of Elvis Presley's recording of 
Bill Monroe's 'Blue Moon of Kentucky'.

Standard 'Fireball Mail' Chords shown below.

[G] Here she comes, look at her roll
There she goes, eatin' that [A7] coal
Watch her [G] fly, look at her sail
let 'er by, by, by, it's the [A7] Fireball [G] Mail.
