Charlie Daniels Band Orange Blossom Special Lyrics

Look a-yonder comin', comin' down that railroad track

Hey, look a-yonder comin', comin' down that railroad track

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

Well, I'm going down to Florida and get some sand in my shoes

Or maybe Californy and get some sand in my shoes

I'll ride that Orange Blossom Special and lose these New York blues

"Say man, when you going back to Florida?"

"When am I goin' back to Florida? I don't know, don't reckon I ever will"

"Ain't you worried about getting your nourishment in New York?"

"Well, I don't care if I do-die do-die, do-die, do-die"

Hey talk about a-ramblin' she's the fastest train on the line

Talk about a-travellin' she's the fastest train on the line

It's that Orange Blossom Special rollin' down the seaboard line
