Orange Blossom Special Lyrics - Stuart Marty

Tell 'em Marty, you got a word for it 

Right here, oh, ooh, oh, look yonder comin' 

Where? Where you comin' from? 

Right over there boys, comin' down the railroad track 

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

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

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

Or maybe California, gotta lose there New York blues 

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

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

The Orange Blossom Special that used to run from Florida 

Up the East Coast and around the East Coast in Virginia 

Tater had a little hound dog one time 

That played a little bit too close to the train track 

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

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

A-show 'em how he went, alright 

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

A little bit to close to the railroad tracks 

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

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

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

Really hurt him bad, he turned around about three flips 

And took off up towards the house, up through the field there 

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