Southern Streamline lyrics

Mama I'm on fire

Old flame, sweet desire

Comin' on the midnight

Comin' on the midnight train

Rollin' steel and thunder

Bring my baby back again

Roll on down the line

Big wheels rollin' right on time

Hear that whistle blowin'

Hear that engine roar and whine

Take care of my baby

Ridin' on that Southern Streamline

Well I got a little letter this morning

Just about the break of day

Bluebird ringin' my doorbell

Rollin' my blues away

Said honey when we go steppin'

Long about Saturday night

So head it down to the station

An' everything'll be alright

Honey what's that sound

Big wheels rollin' homeward bound

See that smokestack sparkin'

Lightin' up a purple sky

Take care of my baby

Ridin' on that Southern Streamline

Well I got a little letter this morning

Just about the break of day

Bluebird ringin' my doorbell

Rollin' my blues away

Said honey babe we'll go steppin'

Long about Saturday night

So head it down to the station

An' everything'll be alright

Mama I'm on fire

Old flame, sweet desire

Comin' on the midnight

Honey let your little light shine

Rollin' steel and thunder

Ridin' on that Southern Streamline

Take care of my baby

Ridin' on that Southern Streamline
