Special Streamline - Bukka White
That's that fast Special Streamline
Leavin' outta Memphis Tennessee
Goin' into New Orleans
She runnin' so fast the hobos don't
Fool with this train They stand on the
Track with their hat in their hands
I had a friend girl that mornin' was
Catchin' that train
She got up singin' this
Hey Dad I'm sorry to leave my home
Mm-mm-mm
Lord Lord Lord Lordy
She heard that 8:30 local blowin' that
Mornin' She hadn't rid
The train in a good while
She thought it'd have
That Special Streamline
She heard at 8:30 local when she is comin'
To the line declared up
For that Streamline
Blowin' like this:
She said Daddy is that my train
I say I ain't keepin' up with the train time
I'm tryin-a make a few dimes
She dropped her head went to singin'
An cryin':
It's alright how you turn me down
Mm-mm-mm
I ain't got a dime
After she called for a ticket
She heard this Special Streamline
Going 36 miles from Memphis Tennessee
Make ya lonesome now
Cause I hobo myself sometimes
Man asks her Where the other train
She told him she didn't know
If she heard a bell she
Could tell him all about it
As she dropped over that hill
And stopped off in the valley
She heard the bell begin to toll like this:
Make a sound like a church bell toll
Before she got to that ten mile tunnel
She blowed and throw'd on the airbrakes
Airbrakes
When she got to that ten mile tunnel
She was gettin' close
She was tippin cars on automatic switch
Gettin' her water and coal on the fly
You could hear her when she was strikin'
That double iron like this:
When she run 'cross the last one
She squalled in
This girl looked out an seen that train
She commenced to singin' an cryin'
Hey dad I don＇t wanna leave
Mm-mm
I believe I'll lose my mind
When that train got a little closer
Down to New Orleans she went around
That curve you would hear her
When she's blowin'like this:
The people's always standin' at the station
Lyin' there to see that train come in
You would hear her when she squall
Boy ev'rywhere but here
