The Atlanta Special - Bukka White[00:00:00]

This is song Atlanta Special here[00:00:07]

Runnin' all down through Georgia[00:00:10]

All down through the south[00:00:13]

An all through the Gulf of Mexico[00:00:15]

When I was a little boy[00:00:19]

I was startin' to catchin' this train[00:00:20]

And I never forget I fifteen years old [00:00:21]

I hear'd that train that mo'nin[00:00:25]

That 8:45 was hittin' that rail[00:00:28]

I had my mule goin' to the field[00:00:31]

To do some plowin' for my old grandfather [00:00:33]

But when this train was comin' down the line[00:00:36]

She picked up wit' it [00:00:38]

I say 'Whoa '[00:00:45]

My mule stopped[00:00:48]

I 'cide to leave I'd try the world[00:00:50]

I eased on out there[00:00:57]

And I caught the old freight train[00:00:58]

That went on down[00:01:01]

All down through Gulf of Mexico[00:01:04]

And ev'rywhere else [00:01:07]

I got to thinkin' about Atlanta Georgia [00:01:11]

I say 'I b'lieve I go back where my[00:01:12]

Old grandmother live at '[00:01:14]

Oh one night I was sittin' down[00:01:17]

Boilin' some corn down on the railroad track [00:01:18]

I thought about what my old grandmother[00:01:24]

Told me years ago [00:01:26]

Said son:[00:01:27]

'You got to reap what you sew [00:01:31]

If you don't be a good boy you gon'[00:01:32]

Have bad luck '[00:01:33]

I made me a record[00:01:36]

(they'll buys it)[00:01:36]

(This way Atlanta Georgia)[00:01:39]

This song:[00:01:41]

I'm sorry sorry sorry left my home[00:01:44]

Mm-mm-mm[00:01:50]

Lord Lord Lord Lord [00:01:52]

When I fell back in Atlanta Georgia[00:01:56]

Old lady lived last name Miss Ester [00:01:59]

She said 'Son I heard one of your records[00:02:02]

About Atlanta Georgia [00:02:04]

Said 'Can you play it now '[00:02:04]

I reached back in my guitar case[00:02:09]

And pulled m'old raggedy guitar out [00:02:11]

So glad to get back home[00:02:14]

I commenced to playin' this song for Aunt Ester [00:02:16]

Lord oh Lord Lord Lord [00:02:22]

Mm-mm-mm[00:02:26]

So glad I headed back home[00:02:28]

Old lady starts at me did I want anything to eat [00:02:32]

I was sittin' there lookin' out toward the railroad[00:02:38]

Track I never will forget it she brought me ham[00:02:40]

An egg an toasted cheese an hot cup-a-coffee [00:02:45]

When that straight line ten mile a-goin' to[00:02:50]

I dropped my head an I dropped my food [00:02:55]

I said 'Now I got to ride this train back' [00:03:00]

She said 'Son what is wrong '[00:03:01]

I said 'Well Aunt Ester '[00:03:04]

I said 'Booker got to go '[00:03:07]

That train was turnin' tight that mo'nin [00:03:09]

Aunt Ester ask-ed[00:03:26]

'Would I know that train if I could hear it '[00:03:26]

She said 'You're too young you don't[00:03:28]

Know nothin' too much about hoboin' [00:03:30]

I said 'Well I tell ya Aunt Ester if I can[00:03:34]

Hear the bell on this train I could tell you[00:03:36]

Mo' about it '[00:03:38]

When that train jumped to the fifteen mile[00:03:41]

Curve a bell will give you a toll like this:[00:03:42]

Made me thought about when my baby[00:03:52]

Got sick n' she died they called me up [00:03:53]

When she run in her fifteen mile curve[00:03:59]

She throw'd on the airbrake for la't ten mile [00:04:00]

So Aunt E stops me [00:04:07]

She says 'Where you was born at '[00:04:08]

I said 'Atlanta Georgia'[00:04:12]

She said 'That why you can play that ol' guitar can't cha '[00:04:15]

While we was talkin' she heard that train comin'[00:04:19]

Into that fifteen mile curve [00:04:21]

Two old ladies was on that train cryin' an supperin'[00:04:24]

Pullin' down the blind A man give him a signal[00:04:26]

From the engine to the coach to slow down [00:04:29]

You could hear him chokin' that train 'specially down[00:04:31]

Comin' through Lou'siana like this:[00:04:33]

When the man throw'd that red light on[00:04:40]

Him sho' know it come that fifteen mile curve [00:04:41]

I ease on off back to the station[00:04:55]

I tol' Aunt E stop thank her for her food [00:04:57]

She said 'Son don't forget what your[00:05:00]

Mother now used to told you[00:05:01]

Now she said Take life easy '[00:05:02]

I jumped on out there and got in the blind [00:05:04]

That train jumped on outta town [00:05:06]

(I was steady jumpin' down)[00:05:09]

(Hauled through Georgia Lou'siana)[00:05:11]

Right on down to a place he called[00:05:13]
