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
