Special Streamline - Bukka White/Washboard Sam
Written by：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 song
Hey dad I'm sorry to leave my home
Lord Lord Lord Lordy
She heard that 830 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 830 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
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
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
