Shake 'em on down

Oh, must I shake 'em on down

Some ol' rainy day, here

Best I'm hollerin', now

Ooh, must I shake 'em on down

Must I shake 'em on down, now

Fix my supper

Let me go to bed

To my head

Ooh, must I shake 'em on down

Whiskey still

Oh, must I shake 'em on down

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
