That's fast Special Streamline
Leavin' outta Memphis,
Goin' New Orleans.
She so fast the hobos don't
fool with train. They stand on the
track their hat in their hands.

I had a friend that mornin' was

She got up singin' song:

'Hey Dad, I'm sorry to my home

Lord, Lord, Lord,

She heard that 8:30 blowin' that
mornin'. She rid the train in a good while.

to the line, declared up for that
