Special Steam Lines - Bukka White[00:00:00]
That's that fast special streamline[00:00:01]
Leavin' outta memphis tennessee goin' into new orleans[00:00:03]
She runnin' so fast the hobos don't fool with this train[00:00:05]
They stand on the track with their hat in their hands[00:00:08]
I had a friend girl that mornin' was catchin' that train[00:00:11]
She got up singin' 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[00:00:21]
She heard that 8:30 local blowin' that mornin'[00:00:26]
She hadn't rid the train in a good while[00:00:28]
She thought it'd have that special streamline[00:00:30]
She heard at 8:30 local when she is comin' to the line[00:00:32]
Declared up for that streamline[00:00:34]
Blowin' like this[00:00:35]
She said daddy is that my train[00:00:42]
I say I ain't keepin' up with the train time[00:00:44]
I'm tryin a make a few dimes[00:00:46]
She dropped her head went to singin' an cryin'[00:00:47]
It's alright how you turn me down[00:00:50]
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[00:01:02]
Going 36 miles from memphis tennessee[00:01:04]
Make ya lonesome now[00:01:06]
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[00:01:39]
When she got to that ten mile tunnel[00:01:43]
She was gettin' close[00:01:45]
She was tippin cars on automatic switch[00:01:45]
Gettin' her water and coal on the fly[00:01:47]
You could hear her when she was strikin'[00:01:49]
That double iron like this[00:01:50]
When she run 'cross the last one[00:01:59]
She squalled in[00:02:00]
This girl looked out an seen that train[00:02:07]
She commenced to singin' an cryin'[00:02:09]
Hey dad I don't wanna leave[00:02:11]
Mm mm[00:02:15]
I believe I'll lose my mind[00:02:17]
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 blowin' like this[00:02:24]
The people's always standin' at the station[00:02:33]
Lyin' there to see that train come in[00:02:34]
You would hear her when she squalls[00:02:36]
Boy everywhere but here[00:02:50]
