Fireball Mail

Lyrics: Floyd Jenkins (Fred Rose)
Music: Floyd Jenkins (Fred Rose)

Played as an instrumental by the Good Old Boys in 1975 with Jerry Garcia sitting in on banjo.

This was played as an instrumental by e.g. Earl Scruggs. But other versions had lyrics:

Here she comes, look at her go
There she goes, eaten 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
