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
