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

Verse 2:

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 me a letter this mornin'

Just about the break of day

Bluebird ringin' my doorbell

Rollin' my blues away

I said, Honey, we're goin' steppin'

Long about Saturday night

We're headed down to the station

Ev'rything'll be all right

Verse 3:

Honey, what's that sound?

Big wheels rollin' homeward bound

See that smokestack sparkin'

Lightin' up the purple sky

Take care of my baby

Ridin' on that Southern Streamline

(instrumental; same pattern as verses)

Verse 4:

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
