Ken Colyer Skiffle Group - Streamline Train

Another '78' but this time it had been broken in two!
After gluing together this side actually plays OK but with discernible 'clicks'. The flip-side was not so obliging and tended to repeat itself in places as we shall see.

STREAMLINE TRAIN

Streamline train, fastest train above.
Hard worked train, aint gonna hurt you none.
I'm gonna leave in de mornin' -
baby on dat streamline train,
only one thing I gotta say momma,
keep you mind offa dis a man.

Went to the Union station, act jus' like a child.
Had to calll for momma - which train do I ride?
Gonna leave in de mornin' ,
baby on dat streamline train.
Only one thing I mus' say momma,
keep your mind off a dis a man.

Dat's a mean old, fireman, good old engineer,
mean old freight train, took my gal from here.
Gonna leave in de mornin'
baby on dat streamline train.
Only one thing I mus' say momma,
keep your mind off a dis a man.

Women in Chicago, sure do make me tired,
gotta hand full o' gimme
mouth full o' much obliged.
I'm gonna leave in de mornin'
baby on dat streamline train.
Only one thing for you momma,
get your mind off a dis a man.

Streamline Train, greenback dollar bill.
A lovin' proposition,
gonna get somebody killed.
I'm gonna leave in de morning,
baby on dat streamline train.
Only one thing I would say momma,
keep your mind off a dis a man.

Steamline Train,
fastest train that runs
Hard worked train,
aint gonna hurt you none,
I'm gonna leave in de mornin',
get your mind off a dis man.
