Night boat to Cairo


Hossage

Recommended Posts

I wanted to take the train to Skaville, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf69KPPcumI but the soul train was late so I had go on the night boat to cairo

because the orange blossom special http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkKuhOkg1sI took too long and the Crazy Train http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MLp7YNTznE...feature=related wasnt available. At that point it occured to me there are a lot of good songs about trains. Can anyone help me out and supply me with some?

"City of New Orleans" by Arlo Guthrie.

 

As an aside, you'd have to have a good reason to go to Cairo. The problem I'm having as I type this is that I can't imagine for 3 nanoseconds what that reason would be. Nothing would be worth the trip.

Little Feat's Red Streamliner:

Click on song to stream. Couldn't find a clean version

 

Savoy Brown, Hellbound Train:

A great version of Mystery Train:

Wish I could find Little Feat's version of New Delhi Freight Train, but this will have to do:

 

Some Doobies, Long Train Running:

Cannonball Rag:

And, while not strictly a train song, this fits the OP's needs, I think:

Beat me to that one, but do these count?

 

 

 

Had Johnny Cash on my mind on the car ride this morning

after hearing the new Jeep Grand Cherokee commercial and

popped into my head.

I don't know how I didn't think about it before.
