Bukka -spoken:
This is song Atlanta Special, here Runnin' all down through Georgia All down through the south An all through the Gulf of Mexico When I was a little boy I was startin' to catchin' this train And I never forget, I fifteen years old. I hear'd that train that mo'nin That 8:45 was hittin' that rail I had my mule goin' to the field To do some plowin' for my old grandfather. But when this train was comin' down the line She picked up wit' it. (guitar - comin' down the line) I say, 'Whoa!' My mule stopped I 'cide to leave, I'd try the world I eased on out there And I caught the old freight train That went on down All down through Gulf of Mexico And ev'rywhere else. Oh, I got to thinkin' about Atlanta, Georgia. I say, 'I b'lieve I go back where my old grandmother live at.' Oh, one night I was sittin' down Boilin' some corn down on the railroad track. I thought about what my old grandmother told me years ago. Said son: 'You got to reap what you sew. If you don't be a good boy, you gon' have bad luck.' I made me a record (they'll buys it) (This way Atlanta, Georgia) This song: Sings: I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, left my home Mm-mm-mm Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord! When I fell back in Atlanta, Georgia Old lady lived, last name Miss Ester. She said, 'Son, I heard one of your records about Atlanta, Georgia. Said, 'Can you play it, now?' I reached back in my guitar case and pulled m'old raggedy guitar out. So glad to get back home I commenced to playin' this song for Aunt Ester. Sings: Lord, oh Lord, Lord, Lord! Mm-mm-mm So glad I headed back home Old lady starts at me, did I want anything to eat? I was sittin' there lookin' out toward the railroad track. I never will forget it, she brought me ham an egg, an toasted cheese an hot cup-a-coffee. When that straight line ten mile a-goin' to I dropped my head an I dropped my food. I said, 'Now, I got to ride this train back'. She said, 'Son, what is wrong?' I said, 'Well, Aunt Ester.' I said, 'Booker got to go.'That train was turnin' tight that mo'nin. (guitar- turnin' tight) Aunt Ester ask-ed 'Would I know that train if I could hear it?' She said, 'You're too young, you don't know nothin' too much about hoboin'. I said, 'Well, I tell ya Aunt Ester, if I can hear the bell on this train I could tell you mo' about it.' When that train jumped to the fifteen mile curve, a bell will give you a toll like this: (guitar- bell tolling) Made me thought about when my baby got sick n' she died. She's, they called me up. When she run in her fifteen mile curve She throw'd on the airbrake for la't ten mile. (guitar - airbraking) So, Aunt E. stops me. She says, 'Where you was born at?' I said, 'Atlanta, Georgia' She said, 'That why you can play that ol' guitar, can't cha!' While we was talkin' she heard that train comin' into that fifteen mile curve. Two old ladies was on that train, cryin' an supperin' pullin' down the blind. A man give him a signal from the engine to the coach to slow down. You could hear him chokin' that train 'specially down comin' through Lou'siana like this: (guitar - chokin' train) When the man throw'd that red light on Him sho' know it come, that fifteen mile curve. I ease on off back to the station I tol' Aunt E stop, thank her for her food. She said, 'Son, don't forget what your mother, now, used to told you Now, she said, Take life easy.' I jumped on out there and got in the blind. That train jumped on outta town. (I was steady jumpin' down) (Hauled through Georgia, Lou'siana) Right on down to a place he called Port Teht (?) (That's in Lou'siana) (They was strippin' sorghum and ev'rything I done got hauled in) I get off the freight train For a job aks the man for me Somethin' to eat He said, 'Can you strip sorgham? I said, I read about it, but I ain't never did it He said, 'If you eat anything, you gon' strip it!' I 'cided to do a little piece a-work for him He went in there an got me sorghum, molasses cornbread, toasted cheese, hot cup a-coffee. My train was in the yard The train blowed! When I hear that train blow, gettin' on I said I'm fixin' to stop t'stripin 'em. (guitar to end) |

Spoken:
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: Sings: 'Hey Dad, I'm sorry to leave my home Mm-mm-mm Lord, Lord, Lord, Lordy' Spoken: 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: (plays guitar w/wshbrd) 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': Sings: 'It's alright how you turn me down Mm-mm-mm I ain't got a dime Spoken: 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. (plays guitar & w/wshbrd) 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: (plays guitar w/wshbrd) 'Make a sound like a church bell toll'. Before she got to that ten mile tunnel She blowed and throw'd on the airbrakes. (plays guitar & w/wshbrd) 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: (plays guitar w/wshbrd) When she run 'cross the last one She squalled in. (plays guitar w/wshbrd) This girl looked out an seen that train She commenced to singin' an cryin'. Sings: '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: (plays guitar w/wshbrd) The people's always standin' at the station Lyin' there to see that train come in. You would hear her when she squalls. (plays guitar w/wshbrd - to end) Spoken: 'Boy, ev'rywhere but here' |
