Nashvile Womens Blues - Bessie Smith

Hold that engine, catch me mama, get on board

Hold that engine, catch me mama, get on board

'Cause my home ain’t here

It’s a long way down the road

On that choo-choo, mama gonna find a berth

On that choo-choo, mama gonna find a berth

Home into Dixieland

It’s the grandest place on earth

Dixie Flyer, come on and let your driver roam

Dixie Flyer, come on and let your driver roam

Wouldn’t say enough to save nobody’s doggone soul

Blow your whistle, tell them mama’s comin' too

Blow your whistle, tell them mama’s comin' too

Take it up a little bit

'Cause I’m feelin' mighty blue

Here’s my ticket, take it please, conductor man

Here’s my ticket, take it please, conductor man

Homin' to my mammy

Way down into Dixieland
