That's that fast special streamline leaving outta memphis [00:00:01]
Tennessee going into New Orleans [00:00:04]
She running so fast the hobos don't fool with this train [00:00:06]
They stand on the track with their hat in their hands [00:00:09]
I had a friend girl that morning was catching that train [00:00:12]
She got up singing this song [00:00:13]
Hey dad I'm sorry to leave my home [00:00:16]
Mm mm mm [00:00:20]
Lord lord lord lordy [00:00:22]
She heard that eight o'clock thirty local blowing that morning [00:00:27]
She hadn't rid the train in a good while [00:00:29]
She thought it'd have that special streamline [00:00:31]
She heard at eight o'clock thirty local when she's coming to the line [00:00:32]
Declared up for that streamline blowing like this [00:00:34]
She said daddy is that my train [00:00:43]
I say I ain't keeping up with the train time [00:00:45]
I'm tryin a make a few dimes [00:00:48]
She dropped her head went to singing an crying [00:00:48]
It's alright how you turn me down [00:00:51]
Mm mm mm [00:00:55]
I ain't got a dime [00:00:56]
After she called for a ticket [00:01:01]
She heard this special streamline going thirty three miles from [00:01:02]
Tennessee make ya lonesome now [00:01:05]
Cause I hobo myself sometimes [00:01:07]
Man asks her where the other train [00:01:15]
She told him she didn't know [00:01:16]
If she heard a bell she could tell him all about it [00:01:17]
As she dropped over that hill [00:01:19]
And stopped off in the valley [00:01:20]
She heard the bell begin to toll like this [00:01:21]
Make a sound like a church bell toll [00:01:24]
Before she got to that ten mile tunnel [00:01:30]
She blowed and throw'd on the airbrakes [00:01:31]
Airbrakes [00:01:38]
When she got to that ten mile tunnel [00:01:43]
She was getting close [00:01:44]
She was tippin cars on automatic switch [00:01:45]
Getting her water and coal on the fly [00:01:47]
You could hear her when she was striking that double iron like this [00:01:48]
When she run cross the last one [00:01:58]
She squalled in [00:01:59]
This girl looked out an seen that train [00:02:07]
She commenced to singing an crying [00:02:08]
Hey dad I don't wanna leave [00:02:11]
Mm mm [00:02:14]
I believe I'll lose my mind [00:02:16]
When that train got a little closer down to New Orleans [00:02:21]
She went around that curve [00:02:23]
You would hear her when she's blowing like this [00:02:24]
The people's always standing at the station [00:02:32]
Lying there to see that train come in [00:02:33]
You would hear her when she squalls [00:02:35]
