Special Stream Line - Bukka White[00:00:00]
Written by:White[00:00:01]
That's that fast Special Streamline[00:00:03]
Leavin' outta Memphis Tennessee[00:00:04]
Goin' into New Orleans[00:00:06]
She runnin' so fast the hobos don't[00:00:07]
Fool with this train they stand on the[00:00:09]
Track with their hat in their hands[00:00:10]
I had a friend girl that mornin' was[00:00:13]
Catchin' that train[00:00:14]
She got up singin' this song[00:00:14]
Hey dad I'm sorry to leave my home[00:00:17]
Lord Lord Lord Lordy[00:00:23]
She heard that 830 local blowin' that[00:00:28]
Mornin' She hadn't rid[00:00:30]
The train in a good while she thought it'd have[00:00:30]
That Special Streamline[00:00:32]
She heard at 830 local when she is comin'[00:00:34]
To the line declared up[00:00:35]
For that Streamline[00:00:36]
Blowin' like this[00:00:37]
She said daddy is that my train[00:00:44]
I say I ain't keepin' up with the train time[00:00:45]
I'm tryin a make a few dimes[00:00:47]
She dropped her head went to singin'[00:00:49]
An cryin'[00:00:50]
It's alright how you turn me down[00:00:52]
I ain't got a dime[00:00:58]
After she called for a ticket[00:01:03]
She heard this Special Streamline[00:01:04]
Going 36 miles from Memphis Tennessee[00:01:05]
Make ya lonesome now[00:01:08]
'Cause I hobo myself sometimes[00:01:08]
Man asks her Where the other train[00:01:17]
She told him she didn't know if she heard a bell[00:01:18]
She could tell him all about it[00:01:19]
As she dropped over that hill[00:01:20]
And stopped off in the valley[00:01:22]
She heard the bell begin to toll like this[00:01:23]
Make a sound like a church bell toll[00:01:26]
Before she got to that ten mile tunnel[00:01:32]
She blowed and throw'd on the airbrakes[00:01:33]
Airbrakes[00:01:41]
When she got to that ten mile tunnel[00:01:45]
She was gettin' close[00:01:46]
She was tippin cars on automatic switch[00:01:47]
Gettin' her water and coal on the fly[00:01:49]
You could hear her when she was strikin'[00:01:50]
That double iron like this[00:01:52]
When she run 'cross the last one[00:02:01]
She squalled in[00:02:02]
This girl looked out an seen that train[00:02:09]
She commenced to singin' an cryin'[00:02:11]
Hey dad I don't wanna leave[00:02:13]
I believe I'll lose my mind[00:02:19]
When that train got a little closer[00:02:23]
Down to New Orleans she went around[00:02:24]
That curve you would hear her[00:02:26]
When she's blowin'like this[00:02:27]
The people's always standin' at the station[00:02:34]
Lyin' there to see that train come in[00:02:36]
You would hear her when she squall[00:02:38]
