ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL
As recorded by Johnny Cash on "Orange Blossom Special" (1965)

Look yonder comin', comin' down that railroad track!
Hey, look yonder comin', comin' down that railroad track!
It's the Orange Blossom Special, bringin' my baby back.

Well, I'm goin' down to Florida, an' get some sand in my shoes.
Or maybe Californy, an' get some sand in my shoes.
I'll ride that Orange Blossom Special, an' lose these New York blues.

[Spoken:]
[Other voice:] Say, man! When you goin' back to Florida?
[Cash:] When am I goin' back to Florida? I don't know. Don't reckon I ever will.
[Other voice:] Ain't you worried about gettin' your nourishment in New York?
[Cash:] Oh, I don't care if I do die, do die, do die, do die, do die.

Hey, talk about her ramblin'! She's the fastest train on the line.
Talk about her trav'lin! She's the fastest train on the line.
It's that Orange Blossom Special, rollin' down the Seaboard Line.
