Chatham County Line
ENGINE NUMBER 709

When you gonna cross that County line
I’m goin’ up the country,
Knoxville Tennessee
When I see that girl, she better be ready for me
Hey Conductor, here’s my fare
Tell me how much longer ‘til we’re getting there
I’m gonna have some lovin’, sweet Eliza Sue
When I see that girl, tell you what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna hug her, kiss her, squeeze her tight
Tell her good morning before daylight
We’re gonna roll, in that bed, we’re gonna roll
‘Til that poor old rooster crow
Hey Engineer,won't you pull that brake
You got me to Knoxville not a minute late
I’m gonna have some lovin’, sweet as apple pie
When I see that girl I hope I just don’t die
Stationman have you seen my girl
She’s about this tall, bluest eyes in the world?
“Sorry Sonny” that Stationman sighed
But from around the corner I caught my baby’s eye
