 C
Look a-yonder comin'
Comin' down that railroad track
      F
Hey, look a-yonder comin'
                            C
Comin' down that railroad track
         G7
It's the Orange Blossom Special
                  C
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
