tennessee ernie ford - tennessee local lyrics

the tennessee local is a slow+movin’ train
but folks in tennessee never seem to complain;
they like a slow ride
so they can see the countryside
i said the tennessee local is a smokey little pokey little train

you never have to worry about it jumpin’ the track
they oil it with molasses, that’s what’s holdin’ it back;
they like a slow ride
so they can see the countryside
i said the tennessee local is a smokey little pokey little train

it chuffs along and huffs along an old rusty rail
it stops at every hamlet to deliver the mail;
it slows at every crossing when it comes to the bend
the engineer gets off and has a chat with a friend

you count the cows and chickens as your ride on your way
you read the burma signs and understand what they say;
’cause it’s a slow train
but you can see the whole terrain
i said the tennessee local is a smokey little pokey little train

it chugs along and hugs along an old rusty rail
it stops at every hamlet to deliver the mail;
the boiler leaks, the engine squeaks, the seats are all loose
but the tennessee local has a classy caboose
you count the cows and chickens as your ride on your way
you read the burma signs and understand what they say;
’cause it’s a slow train
but you can see the whole terrain
i said the tennessee local is a smokey little pokey little train
i said the tennessee local is a smokey little pokey little train
