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.
