I'm on the Red Ball to Natchez,
There's a brown -eyed gal
Gonna see my old hometown tonight.
Oh, she's coming round the bend
There's a track, she's like the wind
Oh, she's bound to get to
I've roamed and I've rambled
Just a light -hearted fellow all alone
But I got to thinkin' here
of my folks that are so dear
Down in Mississippi, boys,
I'm on the Red Ball to Natchez,
Gonna see my old hometown tonight
Oh, she's coming round the bend
There's a track she'd like to win
Oh, she's bound to get to Natchez's
And the people are as friendly as can be
Fill that box full of coal,
let the eight -wheel drivers roll
Cause that Red Bull train
I'm on the Red Bull tonight to Mississippi
Gonna see my old hometown tonight
Oh, she's coming round the bend,
where the tribes who like to win.
Oh, she's bound to get to
