Lyrics

Oh, that mean old fireman, good old engineer
Mean old freight train took my girl from here
I'm gonna leave in the morning, baby, on that streamline train
Only one thing, mama, keep your mind off this man
Women in Chicago sure done make me tired
A hand full of gimme, a mouth full of much obliged
I'm gonna leave in the morning, baby, on that streamline train
And there's only one thing, mama, keep your mind off this man, yeah, yeah
Streamline train, greenback dollar bill
A lovin' proposition or get somebody killed
I'm gonna leave in the morning, baby, on that streamline train
Well, there's only one thing, mama, keep your mind off this man
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Went down to the station (hey, hey), acting like a child (alright)
Had to call my baby, say, "What train do I ride?"
I'm gonna leave in the morning, baby, on that streamline train, yeah
Just one thing I must say, mama, keep your mind off this man
Off this man
Well, women in Chicago (hey, hey), sure do make me tired (alright)
A hand full of gimme, a mouth full of much obliged
I'm gonna leave in the morning, baby, on that streamline train, streamline train
Well, there's only one thing, mama, keep your mind off this man, yeah, yeah
Streamline train (hey, hey), fastest train that runs (alright)
Hard working train, ain't gonna hurt you none
I'm gonna leave in the morning, baby, on that streamline train
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Aw, there's only one thing, mama, keep your mind off this man, yeah, yeah
Streamline train (hey, hey), greenback dollar bill (alright)
A lovin' proposition gonna get somebody killed
Leave in the morning, baby, on that streamline train
Yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, hey, hey
Aw, there's only one thing, mama, keep your mind off this man
Yeah, yeah (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Well, there's only one thing, mama, keep your mind off this man
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Well, there's only one thing, mama, keep your mind off this man
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Well, there's only one thing, mama, keep your mind off this man
The streamline train
