That's that fast Streamline
Leavin' Memphis, Tennessee
into New Orleans.
She runnin' so the hobos don't
with this 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 leave my

Lord, Lord, Lord,

She heard 8:30 local blowin' that
mornin'. She hadn't rid the train in a while.

Gettin' her and coal on the fly
