Southern Streamline

 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 babe we'll 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
 
 Oh, yeah

 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
