about

2. Freight Train Mama:
Throughout history people have tried a lot of creative
methods to induce labor. The steady rumble of a freight
train can be effective, but we don’t recommend it.

lyrics

She’s rolling down the track, she’s rolling down the line
Her engine’s hot and she’s looking fine
Better shut your mouth and shovel her coal
This hot mama’s got a place to go
Freight train mama
She’s a freight train mama
Hard steel woman, hair coal black
Hear those heels go clickety clack

Now don’t you cheat, don’t you steal
She’ll know your game before you deal
She won’t put up with your petty crime
She’s running this train right on time
Freight train mama
She’s a freight train mama
Hard steel woman, hair coal black
Hear my heart go whickety whack

She’s on the rails to give ‘em hell
Gonna get me out of this county jail
Watch in her pocket, paper in her hand
Coming to her baby from across the land
Freight train mama
She’s a freight train mama
Heart of steel woman, hair coal black
Hear those heels go clickety clack

She’s rolling down the track, she’s rolling down the line
Her engine’s hot and she’s looking fine
Better shut your mouth and shovel her coal
This hot mama’s got a place to go
Freight train mama
She’s a freight train mama
Heart of steel woman, hair coal black
Hear those heels go clickety clack
Oh, hear my heart go whickety whack
