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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:48] My mule stopped

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

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

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

[00:01:01] That went on down

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:26] Told me years ago

[00:01:27] Said son:

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

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

[00:01:33] Have bad luck '

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

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

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

[00:01:41] This song:

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

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

[00:01:52] Lord Lord Lord Lord

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

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

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

[00:02:04] About Atlanta Georgia

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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