Van Morrison - Streamline Train Lyrics

Van Morrison Lyrics

"Streamline Train"
(originally by Red Nelson)

Oh that mean old fireman
Good old engineer
Mean old freight train
Took my girl from here
I'm gonna leave in the morning
Baby on that streamline train
Only one thing mama
Keep your mind off this man

Women in Chicago
Sure do make me tired
A hand full o' gimme
A mouth full o' much obliged
I'm gonna leave in the morning
Baby on that streamline train
And there's only one thing mama
Keep your mind off this man

Streamline Train
Greenback dollar bill
A lovin' proposition
Gonna get somebody killed
I'm gonna leave in the morning
Baby on that streamline train
Well, there's only one thing mama
Keep your mind off this man

Went down to the station (hey hey)
Acting like a child (alright)
Had to call my baby, say
What train do I ride?
I'm gonna leave in the morning
Baby on that streamline train
Just one thing I must say mama
Keep your mind off this man
Off this man

Well, women in Chicago (hey hey)
Sure do make me tired (alright)
A hand full o' gimme
A mouth full o' much obliged
I'm gonna leave in the morning
Baby on that streamline train, streamline train
Well, there's only one thing mama
Keep your mind off this man

Streamline train (hey hey)
Fastest train that runs (alright)
Hard working train
Ain't gonna hurt you none
I'm gonna leave in the morning
Baby on that streamline train
Well, there's only one thing mama
Keep your mind off this man

Streamline Train (hey hey)
Greenback dollar bill (alright)
A lovin' proposition
Gonna get somebody killed
I'm gonna leave in the morning
Baby on that streamline train
Well, there's only one thing mama
Keep your mind off this man
Well, there's only one thing mama
Keep your mind off this man
Well, there's only one thing mama
Keep your mind off this man
Well, there's only one thing mama
Keep your mind off this man
That streamline train
