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

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

'Hey Dad, I'm sorry to leave my

Lord, Lord, Lord,

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

(plays w/wshbrd)

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

'It's how you turn me down

I got a dime

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

(plays & w/wshbrd)

If she heard a bell she could him all about it.
As she dropped that hill
And stopped off in the
She heard the bell begin to like this:

(plays w/wshbrd)
'Make a 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 that ten mile
She was close
She was cars on automatic switch
Gettin' her water and on the fly
You could her when she was strikin'
double iron like this:

(plays w/wshbrd)

When she run the last one
She in.

(plays w/wshbrd)

This girl looked out an seen train
She commenced to an cryin'.

'Hey, dad I don't wanna

I believe I'll my mind'

When that got a little closer
down to New Orleans, she around
curve, you would hear her
when she's blowin' like

(plays w/wshbrd)

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

(plays w/wshbrd - to end)

'Boy, but here'
