Irene Kelley - Carolina Special
INNER CITY RAIL TAKING OFF FROM CINCINNATI
ENGINEER CRIES OUT, ALL ABOARD
13 COACHES LONG SHE’S THE PRIDE OF THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY
AND ALL OF THE MEMORIES IT HAD IN STORE
Chorus:IT’S THAT CAROLINA SPECIAL
LIKE A GHOST, SHE HAUNTS THE TRACK
ROLLS AND RATTLES ‘CROSS THE TRESTLE
A TROUBLED SOUL LONGING TO COME BACK
CAROLINA SPECIAL
STORIES TOLD OF OLD IT WAS MORE THAN A LUXURY LINER
PULLMAN CARS, CIGARS AND BIGGER DREAMS
AS THEY WATCHED THE WORLD GO BY
AND NOTHING COULD BE FINER
A TRIP TO ANOTHER TIME
IN A TIME MACHINE
Repeat chorus
