Southern Streamline Lyrics - John Fogerty

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
