Red Ball to Natchez

I'm on the Red Ball to Natchez, Mississippi
Back there my gal waiting on the levy
I'm riding the blind
Gonna satisfy my mind
Gonna see my old hometown tonight
Oh, she's coming round the bend
Clear the track she's like the wind
Oh, she's bound to get to Natchez on time

I have roamed and I have rambled round the country
Just a light hearted fellow all alone
But I got to thinking here
Of my folks that are so dear
Down in Mississippi, boys I'm going home

I'm on the Red Ball to Natchez, Mississippi
Back there my gal waiting on the levy
I'm riding the blind
Gonna satisfy my mind
Gonna see my old hometown tonight
Oh, she's coming round the bend
Clear the track she's like the wind
Oh, she's bound to get to Natchez on time

Oh, the sun's shining bright in Mississippi
And the people are as friendly as can be
Fill that box plum fun of coal
Let the 8 wheel drivers roll
Cause that Red Ball train can't go too fast for me

I'm on the Red Ball to Natchez, Mississippi
Back there my gal waiting on the levy
I'm riding the blind
Gonna satisfy my mind
Gonna see my old hometown tonight
Oh, she's coming round the bend
Clear the track she's like the wind
Oh, she's bound to get to Natchez on time
