Lyrics

Here she comes, look at her go There she goes, eating that coal Watch her fly, look at her sail, Let her by, by, by, the Fireball Mail Let her go, look at her steam, Here the low, whistle and scream Like a hound dog wagging its tail, Let her by, by, by, the Fireball Mail Engineer, making up time, Tracks are clear, look at her climb See that freight, clear the rail, I'll 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
