She pulled out-ta Mo-bile_ in the pour-in rain_ Mov-in thru the dark-ness_ like a hur-ri-cane_

From southern gulf port waters_  to the Cumber-lands so green_  Louis-ville by Nash-vill and

all points in be-tween_  Pound-in out a rhythm_  mak-in up lost time_   Head-in for that
Blue-grass state of mine_

White smoke a roll-in_  whistle a blow-in_  Listen to her engine keep-in time

Mont-gom-ery by morn-in_  Birm-ing-ham by noon_  On-ward thru the timeber_  up-ward to the

Her lungs are full of fire_  breath-in burn-in coal_  A ragg-in lo-co-motion_  like thunder when it rolls_
F                             G                       C
Sing-in for the might-y_  who cast her molten steel_  Drove the spike and laid the rail to ride

to ride be-neath her wheels_   The pride of our nation_  she's a mon-u-ment to them_

A Southern belle that might-y L & N_
