Marty Stuart - Orange Blossom Special lyrics

rate me

<br>

Tell 'em Marty, you got a word for it<br>

Right here, oh, ooh, oh, look yonder comin'<br>

Where? Where you comin' from?<br>

Right over there boys, comin' down the railroad track<br>

<br>

I said look-a-yonder comin', comin' down the railroad track<br>

It's the Orange Blossom Special, bringin' my baby back<br>

I'm goin' down to Florida, gonna get some sand in my shoes<br>

Or maybe California, gotta lose there New York blues<br>

<br>

Ride the Orange Blossom Special, now, lose these New York blues<br>

One more time, this song is about a train, ya know<br>

The Orange Blossom Special that used to run from Florida<br>

Up the East Coast and around the East Coast in Virginia<br>

<br>

Tater had a little hound dog one time<br>

That played a little bit too close to the train track<br>

And his luck ran out and the train got the hound dog by the tail<br>

Cut his tail off, so Tater, tell 'em a little bit more about your hound dog<br>

A-show 'em how he went, alright<br>

<br>

Well, like you said, Marty, he just got to playin' around<br>

A little bit to close to the railroad tracks<br>

Cut about three inches of his tail off, boy, it did hurt<br>

Though I don't know how it would feel but I'm sure it would hurt<br>

<br>

He squalled out somethin' like this, he was just a little hound dog right<br>

Really hurt him bad, he turned around about three flips<br>

And took off up towards the house, up through the field there<br>

Every step he was takin' he was a yakin' somethin' like this right here<br>

<br>
