_ _ _ _ _ _ Standing on a side track [B] at the south end [E] of town
_ On a dry hot dusty August day, [B] the steam pipe blowing down
_ [E] The fireman with his long oil [B] can, holding the [E] old valve gear _ _
Waiting for the fast mail [B] train, the _ [E] semaphore to [F#m] clear
_ [E] _ _
_ _ The engineer in the old i [B]-cabs, gold watch in [E] his hand
_ Looking _ at the water _ [B] glass and letting _ down the sand
_ [E] _ Rolling out on the [G#m] old main [B] line, taking [E] up the slack
_ _ Gone today, but so they [B] say, tomorrow [E] he'll be _ back
_ _ _ Oh, if _

_ _ Creeping _ down the rusty _ [B] rails of the wheat-grown [E] branch line
_ _ Section houses gray and white [B] by the yard limit sign
_ [E] The hoggers call the old high [B] ball, no more time [E] to wait
_ _ Rolling _ down to Birmingham [B] with the tin car local [E] _
freight
_ The _ _ _ whistle screams with a hiss of [B] steam, the _ headlight [E] gleams clear
The drivers roll on the green and [B] gold, getting by the near
_ _ [E] _
Handing up the orders [B] to the engine crew [E] on time
It's the _ Alabama great southern _ [B] AGS _ [E] railroad line _ _ _ _
Oh, if I [B] _ _
