Lyrics Preachin’, Prayin’, Singin’ - Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs

Preachin’, Prayin’, Singin’

Here she comes look at her roll
There she goes eatin' that coal
Watch her fly look at her sail
Let her by, by, by, the fireball mail
Watch her go look at her steam
Hear her blow whistle and scream
Like a hound a waggin' his tail
Dallas bound, bound, bound, the fireball mail
--- Instrumental ---
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 and 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
Here she comes, look at her roll
There she goes eatin' that coal
Watch her fly, look at her sail
Let her by, by, by, the fireball mail
Let her by, by, by, the fireball mail
Let her by, by, by, the fireball mail
Let her by, by, by, it’s the fireball mail…
