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

I had a friend girl mornin' was
that train.
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.
She thought it'd that Special Streamline.
She heard at local when she is comin'
to the line, declared up for Streamline
like this:

(plays w/wshbrd)

She said, 'Daddy, is that my
I say, I keepin' up with the train time
I'm tryin-a a few dimes.'
She dropped her head to singin'
an

'It's alright how you turn me

I got a dime

After she for a ticket
She heard this Streamline
36 miles from Memphis, Tennessee.
Make ya now
I hobo myself, sometimes.

(plays & w/wshbrd)

Man her, 'Where the other train?'
She him she didn't know
If she a bell she could tell him all about it.
As she dropped over hill
And off in the valley
She heard the bell begin to toll this:

(plays w/wshbrd)
a sound like a church bell toll'.

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

(plays & w/wshbrd)

Airbrakes!

When she got to ten mile tunnel
She was close
She was tippin cars on automatic
Gettin' her water and on the fly
You could hear her she was strikin'
double iron like this:

(plays w/wshbrd)

When she run 'cross the one
She in.

(plays w/wshbrd)

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

'Hey, dad I wanna leave'

I I'll lose my mind'

that train got a little closer
down to New Orleans, she around
that curve, you would her
when she's blowin' this:

(plays w/wshbrd)

The people's always at the station
Lyin' to see that train come in.
You hear her when she squalls.

(plays w/wshbrd - to end)

'Boy, ev'rywhere but
