Van Morrison - Streamline Train

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 done make me tired
A hand full of gimme
A mouth full of 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, yeah, yeah

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
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

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 of gimme
A mouth full of 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, yeah, yeah

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
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, there's only one thing, mama
Keep your mind off this man, yeah, yeah

Streamline train (hey, hey)
Greenback dollar bill (alright)
A lovin' proposition
Gonna get somebody killed
Leave in the morning
Baby, on that streamline train
Yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, hey, hey
Well, there's only one thing, mama
Keep your mind off this man (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Well, there's only one thing, mama
Keep your mind off this man
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, there's only one thing, mama
Keep your mind off this man
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Well, there's only one thing, mama
Keep your mind off this man
The streamline train
