Lyrics
Well, that mean ol’, mean ol’ southern Lord
That runs through Tennessee
Well that mean ol’ southern Lord that runs through Tennessee
Well it carried my babe away
And it blowed back up for me

Well, that mean ol’, mean ol’ fireman
And that cruel ol’ engineer,
Well, that mean ol’ fireman and that cruel ol’ engineer,
Lord, that was a low-down conductor
Lord, that wave that train from here.

Well, that mean ol’ mean ol’ Southern,
Lord, that rolls through Tennessee,
Well, that mean ol’ Southern, Lord, that rolls through Tennessee,
Well, it carried the woman I love away
And it blowed back up for me.

It was standin’, I was Listnin’
At that Southern whistle blow,
I was standin’, listnin’ at that southern whistle blow,
Well, it blowed just like,
Funny, it never blowed before, all right!

Well, the train she was ridin’ on, boy,
It was sixteen coaches long,
Yes, the train she was riding, sixteen coach, coaches long,
Lord, I know she was leavin’
It just kept on blowin’ on.
