That's that Special Streamline
Leavin' Memphis, Tennessee
Goin' New Orleans.
She runnin' so fast the hobos
fool with this train. They on the
track with their hat in hands.

I had a friend girl that was
catchin' train.
She got up singin' song:

'Hey Dad, I'm to leave my home

Lord, Lord, Lord,

She heard that local blowin' that
mornin'. She hadn't rid the train in a while.
She it'd have that Special Streamline.
She heard at 8:30 local when she is
to the line, declared up for Streamline
Blowin' like

She said, 'Daddy, is that my
I say, I ain't keepin' up with the time
I'm tryin-a a few dimes.'

(plays & w/wshbrd)

Man her, 'Where the other train?'

Before she got to that ten mile
She blowed and on the airbrakes.

Airbrakes!

she got to that ten mile tunnel
She was close
She was tippin cars on switch
her water and coal on the fly
You could hear her she was strikin'
that double iron this:

When she run 'cross the one
She in.

(plays w/wshbrd)

This looked out an seen that train
She to singin' an cryin'.

'Hey, dad I wanna leave'

I believe I'll my mind'

When that got a little closer
to New Orleans, she went around
that curve, you hear her
when she's like this:

(plays w/wshbrd)

The people's standin' at the station
Lyin' there to see that train in.
You would her when she squalls.

(plays guitar - to end)

'Boy, but here'
