Rock Island Line - Lonnie Donegan

SPEAKER_29 37:51

That is here's a story about the rock on the line. Now the rock is a line is a railroad line and it runs down into New Orleans. All the trains that go through the tow gate, but you gotta be a man. Unless of course they got certain things on board. Okay, they don't have to be right now. We see the train coming on down the line. We should get up here to the tow gate, the uh the depot agent shout down to the driver. He wanna know what he got on board. So he's saying uh what you got on boat? In the driver. Sing right on back down to the depot agent telling what he got on boat. I got the sheep, I got the cows, I got horses, I got the pig, I got all the livestock on all the livestock, live stalking a man. Say, Wally say, You all right then, boy. You don't have to pay me nothing, just get him on through. So the train goes through the tall gate, and as he goes through, he got up a little bit of steam and a little bit of speed. When he sees me on the other side of the tour gate, the the driver shouts back down the line to the man. Of course, you don't get what he says now, going home and going down the rock island line.

SPEAKER_02 39:23

Just everybody a foo do, a food do, I've got pee-dion, I've got peak iron, I've got a tick on down the rock island line. Yes, yes, it's a mighty good rope.

Oh Lordy, mama got him in the bottom of my rambling shit. I wanna whistle blows, I get to go, baby. Don't you know? And it looks like I'm never gonna lose a free dream blue. Well my daddy wasn't fine, and I'm on my hair. She was the only daughter of the engineer. My sweet I love a break, but they know a joke. See me the way she keeps a good meal broke. I got the three train blue Oh Lord mama, got him in the bottom of my line. So when I whistle blows, I get to go. Oh my, but don't you know? And it looks like I'm never gonna lose a fresh train blue. Well, the only thing that makes me laugh again is a southbound whistle on the southbound train. Every place I wanna go. I never can go because you know I got straight train blue. Got him in the button of a rambling shoe.

Break

SPEAKER_00 46:28

I I'm sorry, I there's not enough that I can say about that dude. I just absolutely love it. Anyway, right now we are going to get we're starting off with the Rolling Stones with a thing called Silver Train from the Coach in 1971. Now this is kind of interesting. And it happened more than one. I have a friend who's absolutely loving this thing. So the fact that I picked this version over the song is actually really. And I did not realize this. I didn't know that Billy Bragg had done so many covers. But this is actually a cover from a band called The Count Bishops. But we are starting you off with the Rolling Stones and Silver Train.

Silver Train - The Rolling Stones

SPEAKER_18 48:53

See I'm a train in the comet. I come get on the hair. Yeah. Say I'm a train in the comet. I come to get on the hair.

unknown 49:09

SPEAKER_18 54:01

In my head.

Break

SPEAKER_00 1:03:45

Coming up next, we've got a little bit of a hot pod for you. First of all, a band that I think is incredibly underrated, and that is last of the power train. This was recorded about two months after the trains were retired from passenger service in the UK. After that, another underrated band just because they're considered one hand wonder and because of the nature of that one hand. The name of the band is The Vapors, and the name of the song is Trains, and the name of the album is Nuclear Days, and the name of their head was, of course, turned into Japanese. However, give these guys a chance. They're a really good band. Just listen to the bass line and it's absolutely okay. After that, we've got Bob again from his 2012 album campus. And the name of the song is New Hammed Whistle. And again, the song just uh sounds like a train. You hear the music and and uh it just uh we're gonna wrap things up with uh from the boat, and uh it's a tune called Boat Train from the Reason Love album. Now, for those of us in the United States where we don't have a lot of really good math transit, a boat train is kind of a package train that takes you to a boat or a ferry that'll take you to another train. Uh one of the most interesting ones, uh, I think from the boat point of view is there is one where you can go from standing on a three corner in London standing on a three corner in London in about ten hours, which I think is pretty amazing. Anyway, that's a bow train, but we're gonna start you off with the last of the power train.

Last of the Steam-Powered Trains - The Kinks

SPEAKER_14 1:05:46

Like the last of the good old upper train. I'm the last of the blood and sweat brigade.
