Songs Title：atlanta special[00:05:53]

This is song Atlanta Special, here[00:05:53]

Runnin' all down through Georgia[00:05:53]

All down through the south[00:05:53]

An all through the Gulf of Mexico[00:05:53]

When I was a little boy[00:05:53]

I was startin' to catchin' this train[00:05:53]

And I never forget, I fifteen years old.[00:05:53]

I hear'd that train that mo'nin[00:05:53]

That 845 was hittin' that rail[00:05:53]

I had my mule goin' to the field[00:05:53]

To do some plowin' for my old grandfather.[00:05:53]

But when this train was comin' down the line[00:05:53]

She picked up wit' it.[00:05:53]

(guitar - comin' down the line)[00:05:53]

I say, 'Whoa!'[00:05:53]

My mule stopped[00:05:53]

I 'cide to leave, I'd try the world[00:05:53]

I eased on out there[00:05:53]

And I caught the old freight train[00:05:53]

That went on down[00:05:53]

All down through Gulf of Mexico[00:05:53]

And ev'rywhere else.[00:05:53]

Oh, I got to thinkin' about Atlanta, Georgia.[00:05:53]

I say, 'I b'lieve I go back where my[00:05:53]

Old grandmother live at.'[00:05:53]

Oh, one night I was sittin' down[00:05:53]

Boilin' some corn down on the railroad track.[00:05:53]

I thought about what my old grandmother[00:05:53]

Told me years ago.[00:05:53]

Said son[00:05:53]

'You got to reap what you sew.[00:05:53]

If you don't be a good boy, you gon'[00:05:53]

Have bad luck.'[00:05:53]

I made me a record[00:05:53]

(they'll buys it)[00:05:53]

(This way Atlanta, Georgia)[00:05:53]

This song[00:05:53]

Sung[00:05:53]

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, left my home[00:05:53]

Mm-mm-mm[00:05:53]

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord![00:05:53]

When I fell back in Atlanta, Georgia[00:05:53]

Old lady lived, last name Miss Ester.[00:05:53]

She said, 'Son, I heard one of your records[00:05:53]

About atlanta, georgia.[00:05:53]

Said, 'Can you play it, now?'[00:05:53]

I reached back in my guitar case[00:05:53]

And pulled m'old raggedy guitar out.[00:05:53]

So glad to get back home[00:05:53]

I commenced to playin' this song for Aunt Ester.[00:05:53]

Sung[00:05:53]

Lord, oh Lord, Lord, Lord![00:05:53]

Mm-mm-mm[00:05:53]

So glad I headed back home[00:05:53]

Old lady starts at me, did I want anything to eat?[00:05:53]

I was sittin' there lookin' out toward the railroad[00:05:53]

Track. i never will forget it, she brought me ham[00:05:53]

An egg, an toasted cheese an hot cup-a-coffee.[00:05:53]

When that straight line ten mile a-goin' to[00:05:53]

I dropped my head an I dropped my food.[00:05:53]

I said, 'Now, I got to ride this train back'.[00:05:53]

She said, 'Son, what is wrong?'[00:05:53]

I said, 'Well, Aunt Ester.'[00:05:53]

I said, 'Booker got to go.'[00:05:53]

That train was turnin' tight that mo'nin.[00:05:53]

(guitar- turnin' tight)[00:05:53]

Aunt Ester ask-ed[00:05:53]

'Would I know that train if I could hear it?'[00:05:53]

She said, 'You're too young, you don't[00:05:53]

Know nothin' too much about hoboin'.[00:05:53]

I said, 'Well, I tell ya Aunt Ester, if I can[00:05:53]

Hear the bell on this train i could tell you[00:05:53]

Mo' about it.'[00:05:53]

When that train jumped to the fifteen mile[00:05:53]

Curve, a bell will give you a toll like this[00:05:53]

(guitar- bell tolling)[00:05:53]

Made me thought about when my baby[00:05:53]

Got sick n' she died. she's, they called me up.[00:05:53]

When she run in her fifteen mile curve[00:05:53]

She throw'd on the airbrake for la't ten mile.[00:05:53]

(guitar - airbraking)[00:05:53]

So, Aunt E. stops me.[00:05:53]

She says, 'Where you was born at?'[00:05:53]

I said, 'Atlanta, Georgia'[00:05:53]

She said, 'That why you can play that ol' guitar, can't cha!'[00:05:53]

While we was talkin' she heard that train comin'[00:05:53]

Into that fifteen mile curve.[00:05:53]

Two old ladies was on that train, cryin' an supperin'[00:05:53]

Pullin' down the blind. a man give him a signal[00:05:53]

From the engine to the coach to slow down.[00:05:53]

You could hear him chokin' that train 'specially down[00:05:53]

Comin' through lou'siana like this[00:05:53]

(guitar - chokin' train)[00:05:53]

When the man throw'd that red light on[00:05:53]

Him sho' know it come, that fifteen mile curve.[00:05:53]

I ease on off back to the station[00:05:53]

I tol' Aunt E stop, thank her for her food.[00:05:53]

She said, 'Son, don't forget what your[00:05:53]

Mother, now, used to told you[00:05:53]

Now, she said, Take life easy.'[00:05:53]

I jumped on out there and got in the blind.[00:05:53]

That train jumped on outta town.[00:05:53]

(I was steady jumpin' down)[00:05:53]

(Hauled through Georgia, Lou'siana)[00:05:53]

Right on down to a place he called[00:05:53]

Port Teht...[00:05:53]

(That's in Lou'siana)[00:05:53]

(They was stripin' sorghum[00:05:53]

And ev'rything i done got hauled there)[00:05:53]

I get off the freight train[00:05:53]

For a job aks the man for me[00:05:53]

Somethin' to eat[00:05:53]

He said, 'Can you strip sorgham?[00:05:53]

I said, I read about it, but I ain't never did it[00:05:53]

He said, 'If you eat anything, you gon' strip it!'[00:05:53]

I 'cided to do a little piece a-work for him[00:05:53]

He went in there an got me sorghum, molasses[00:05:53]

Cornbread, toasted cheese, hot cup a-coffee.[00:05:53]

My train was in the yard[00:05:53]

When I hear that train blow, gettin' on[00:05:53]

I said I'm fixin' to stop t'strippin 'em.[00:05:53]

(guitar to end)[00:05:53]
