Yes, you're a nice girl, mama
And little girl
Night before day
We gonna
Shake 'em on down
I need some time holler, now
Oh, must I shake 'em on down
I done shout hollerin', now
Must I shake 'em on down
Too much is debted to me
Through the week
Save these chili peppers
Some ol' rainy day, here
Best I'm hollerin', now
Ooh, must I shake 'em on down
I done shout hollerin', now
Must I shake 'em on down, now
Fix my supper
Let me go to bed
This white lightnin' done gone
To my head
Oh, must I holler now
Ooh, must I shake 'em on down
I done shout hollerin', now
Must I shake 'em on down
I ain't been in Georgia, babe

Georgia women got the best
Jellyroll
These nights time holler, now
Oh, must I shake 'em on down
I done shout hollerin', mama
Must I shake 'em on down
See See mama, heard
You, done-done
Made me love you, now I know
Man done coming
Best I'm hollerin', now
Oh, must I shake 'em on down
I done shout hollerin', mama
Must I shake 'em on down

Whiskey still
It's best I'm hollerin', now
Oh, must I shake 'em on down
I done shout hollerin'
Must I shake 'em on down.
12.Special Streamline
That's that fast Special Streamline
Leavin' outta Memphis, Tennessee
Goin' into New Orleans.
She runnin' so fast the hobos don't
fool with this train. They stand on the
track with their hat in their hands.
I had a friend girl that mornin' was
catchin' that train.
She got up singin' this song:
'Hey Dad, I'm sorry to leave my home
Mm-mm-mm
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lordy'
She heard that 8:30 local blowin' that
mornin'. She hadn't rid the train in a good while.
She thought it'd have that Special Streamline.
She heard at 8:30 local when she is comin'
to the line, declared up for that Streamline
Blowin' like this:
She said, 'Daddy, is that my train?'
I say, I ain't keepin' up with the train time
I'm tryin-a make a few dimes.'
She dropped her head went to singin'
an cryin':
'It's alright how you turn me down
Mm-mm-mm
I ain't got a dime
After she called for a ticket
She heard this Special Streamline
going 36 miles from Memphis, Tennessee.
Make ya lonesome now
Cause I hobo myself, sometimes.
Man asks her, 'Where the other train?'
She told him she didn't know
If she heard a bell she could tell him all about it.
As she dropped over that hill
And stopped off in the valley
She heard the bell begin to toll like this:
'Make a sound like a church bell toll'.
Before she got to that ten mile tunnel
She blowed and throw'd on the airbrakes.
Airbrakes!
When she got to that ten mile tunnel
She was gettin' close
She was tippin cars on automatic switch
Gettin' her water and coal on the fly
You could hear her when she was strikin'
that double iron like this:
When she run 'cross the last one
She squalled in.
This girl looked out an seen that train
She commenced to singin' an cryin'.
'Hey, dad I don't wanna leave'
Mm-mm
I believe I'll lose my mind'
When that train got a little closer
down to New Orleans, she went around
that curve, you would hear her
when she's blowin' like this:
The people's always standin' at the station
Lyin' there to see that train come in.
You would hear her when she squalls.
Boy, everywhere but here
