[Intro]
E B7 E

[Verse]
 E7 A
I have heard your stories about your fast trains,
 B7 E
But now I'll tell you about one all the southern folks have seen.
 E7 A
She's the beauty of the southland listen to that whistle scream,
B7 E
It's that Pan American on her way to New Orleans.

[Chorus]
 E7 A
She leaves Cincinnati headin' down that Dixie line,
 B7 E
When she passes that Nashville tower you can hear that whistle whine.
 E7 A
Stick your head right out the window and feel that southern breeze,
 B7 E
You're on that Pan American on her way to New Orleans.

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
 E7 A
If you're ever in the southland and want to see the scenes,
 B7 E
Just get yourself a ticket on the Pan American Queen.
 E7 A
There's Louisville, Nashville, Montgomery the capital of Alabam,
 B7 E
You pass right through them all when your New Orleans bound.

[Instrumental]
E E7 A B7 E E7 A B7 E

[Chorus]
 E7 A
She leaves Cincinnati headin' down that Dixie line,
 B7 E
When she passes that Nashville tower you can hear that whistle whine.
 E7 A
Stick your head right out the window and feel that southern breeze,
 B7 E B7 E
You're on that Pan American on her way to New Orleans.
