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

Great to see Bill finally play my upload! He had played 'Blueboy' from the start, but never this one, or 'Hot Rod Heart', which he still has not, but I am hopeful... Hey, if he can pick Zawinul's Birdland up from the reject bin, he can sure play that!
YEEEHAW!!!!!!!!

Bill, you said CCR! I know it sounds CCR but it's John solo in name anyway, okay...yeah and what's not to like...and I still think JF looks like a younger Warren Beaty in the cover photo
He said "John Fogarty FROM CCR", not that the cut was by CCR. As in 'this is John Fogarty, that dude who was in a band called CCR'. If you listen in Real player, you can replay some of what's left in the buffer.

A fellow train geek? As for the song... eh, just doesn't work for me, though I like Fogerty. 5-6, I think.
That album cover says it all..... cheesy formulaic garbage and country garbage to boot!!!

All I hear is "Put me in coach, I'm ready to play...today"
Is it just me or does the chord progression in this song sound exactly like "Black Or White" by Michael Jackson?
This entire album is pretty good, as this small example shows.
I wouldn't have expected to like John Fogerty doing Nashville-sounding Country. But it's pretty good. Any song about trains gets a few bonus points too. I'll give it a 7, and see how well it holds up to a few listens... c.
