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

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

'Hey Dad, I'm to leave my home

Lord, Lord, Lord,

She that 8:30 local blowin' that
mornin'. She hadn't rid the in a good while.
She thought it'd that Special Streamline.

Gettin' her and coal on the fly
You hear her when she was strikin'
that iron like this:

to New Orleans, she went around
that curve, you would her

(plays w/wshbrd)

The people's always at the station

'Boy, ev'rywhere but
