《Special Stream Line》歌词

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

[00:00:04] Tennessee going into New Orleans

[00:00:06] She running so fast the hobos don't fool with this train

[00:00:09] They stand on the track with their hat in their hands

[00:00:12] I had a friend girl that morning was catching that train

[00:00:13] She got up singing this song

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

[00:00:20] Mm mm mm

[00:00:22] Lord lord lord lordy

[00:00:27] She heard that eight o'clock thirty local blowing that morning

[00:00:29] She hadn't rid the train in a good while

[00:00:31] She thought it'd have that special streamline

[00:00:32] She heard at eight o'clock thirty local when she's coming to the line

[00:00:34] Declared up for that streamline blowing like this

[00:00:43] She said daddy is that my train

[00:00:45] I say I ain't keeping up with the train time

[00:00:48] I'm tryin a make a few dimes

[00:00:48] She dropped her head went to singing an crying

[00:00:51] 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 going thirty three miles from

[00:01:05] Tennessee 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

[00:01:38] Airbrakes

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

[00:01:44] She was getting close

[00:01:45] She was tippin cars on automatic switch

[00:01:47] Getting her water and coal on the fly

[00:01:48] You could hear her when she was striking that double iron like this

[00:01:58] When she run cross the last one

[00:01:59] She squalled in

[00:02:07] This girl looked out an seen that train

[00:02:08] She commenced to singing an crying

[00:02:11] Hey dad I don't wanna leave

[00:02:14] Mm mm

[00:02:16] 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 blowing like this

[00:02:32] The people's always standing at the station

[00:02:33] Lying there to see that train come in

[00:02:35] You would hear her when she squalls
