《Special Steam Lines》歌词

[00:00:00] Special Steam Lines - Bukka White

[00:00:01] That's that fast special streamline

[00:00:03] Leavin' outta memphis tennessee goin' into new orleans

[00:00:05] She runnin' so fast the hobos don't fool with this train

[00:00:08] They stand on the track with their hat in their hands

[00:00:11] I had a friend girl that mornin' was catchin' that train

[00:00:13] She got up singin' this song

[00:00:16] Hey dad I'm sorry to leave my home

[00:00:20] Mm mm mm

[00:00:21] Lord lord lord lordy

[00:00:26] She heard that 8:30 local blowin' that mornin'

[00:00:28] She hadn't rid the train in a good while

[00:00:30] She thought it'd have that special streamline

[00:00:32] She heard at 8:30 local when she is comin' to the line

[00:00:34] Declared up for that streamline

[00:00:35] Blowin' like this

[00:00:42] She said daddy is that my train

[00:00:44] I say I ain't keepin' up with the train time

[00:00:46] I'm tryin a make a few dimes

[00:00:47] She dropped her head went to singin' an cryin'

[00:00:50] It's alright how you turn me down

[00:00:55] Mm mm mm

[00:00:56] I ain't got a dime

[00:01:01] After she called for a ticket

[00:01:02] She heard this special streamline

[00:01:04] Going 36 miles from memphis tennessee

[00:01:06] Make ya lonesome now

[00:01:07] Cause I hobo myself sometimes

[00:01:15] Man asks her where the other train

[00:01:16] She told him she didn't know

[00:01:17] If she heard a bell 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

[00:01:21] She heard the bell begin to toll like this

[00:01:24] Make a sound like a church bell toll

[00:01:30] Before she got to that ten mile tunnel

[00:01:31] She blowed and throw'd on the airbrakes

[00:01:39] Airbrakes

[00:01:43] When she got to that ten mile tunnel

[00:01:45] She was gettin' close

[00:01:45] 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

[00:01:59] When she run 'cross the last one

[00:02:00] She squalled in

[00:02:07] 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

[00:02:15] Mm mm

[00:02:17] I believe I'll lose my mind

[00:02:21] When that train got a little closer down to new orleans

[00:02:23] She went around that curve

[00:02:24] You would hear her when she's blowin' like this

[00:02:33] 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 squalls

[00:02:50] Boy everywhere but here
