Description

I want to get some more of my older songs re-posted, so I can use SmokeyVW's album sort and organize them on my page. I remixed this using Mike Dancy's mix in the mp3 format - maybe not such a good idea...

John Luper - Lead guitar & bass
Terry Harp - Vocals (paralax)
Mike Dancy - Drums and Main mix (H.L. remix from mp3 to add more train sound, sorry Mikey)
Harold Luper - Lyrics, song, Rhythm Strat

Lyrics

Ridin' Maria Fumaça

I'm gonna ride that train
Gonna ride it home
Gonna ride that train
Gonna ride it home

I jumped off the track, just half a mile back
Couldn't see where I was goin' to
A pack on my back, my axe in the sack
Yeah, a helpin' friend to see me through

I'm gonna ride that train
Gonna ride it home
Gonna ride that train
Gonna ride it home

Then when I was blue, just a dream comes true
All the things a man could hope for
And with my eyes on you, I knew you’d pull me through
How could I ever, ever, ask for more?

Oh, yeah! That train’s a commin’, the trucks are rollin’
I’m g’onna get back to life!

I'm gonna ride that train
Gonna ride it home
Gonna ride that train
Gonna ride it home

Now I’m back on track, never, never look back
Yeah! My train is comin’ home to you
Let’s go hop in the sack, and get on to my stack
I’ll do anything to please you, too!

Get on! The whistle’s blowin’, it’s Nine o’clock
And time to catch my ride…
The coal, is ever burnin’, the steam is blowin’
I’m seein’ the end of the line!

I'm gonna ride that train
Gonna ride it home
Gonna ride that train
Gonna ride it home

	RE: make train sounds Thanks Karen. Even though I think I can, I think I can... No, I asked permission from D. Bailey to use some of his steam engine recordings, and he obliged... Thanks for commenting again. . - Harold Check out my latest song called Kanun Oud Rock (LIOLI9)

	H dog! HEy I love the effect you did to the train sound in the beginning.....Nice Im assuming this is a remake ..Sounds good ...Nice clear vocal drums may be a little loud in the mix but not to bad . Nice man :) Check out my latest song called Its The French Toast(Colab W/WillBill808)

	RE: Benny, drums may be a little loud Thanks man. I probably messed up by using the mp3 from Mike's last mix instead of the tracks - I was trying to preserve his mix and just boost up and extend the train a bit. I didn't have any control over the individual tracks :( Mike's probably turning over in fits . - Harold Check out my latest song called Kanun Oud Rock (LIOLI9)

I must have been asleep at the switch,
cause I missed this train the first time it came through.

All I can say is I'm glad I finally woke up. Man this is a heck of a ride Harold. Great effects on the train, and the music ain't half bad either. Matter of fact it's near perfect.

Great ride my friend, thanks for sharing.

Be well and be cool,

Ed

nailing THIS one down...
OK Harold, this one isn't going anywhere, promise me that! I love this piece by you... you and the gang (John, Mike, Terry) really did a super job on this, and I'm sooo glad you got it back up here! Love the train/guitar lead-in, super lyrics, super singing, drums, guitar work... just absolutely NOTHING not to like here. Reminds me a bit of my favorite old Aerosmith song :-)

Not sure what you changed, but it still sounds great, I don't think you diddled the knobs too much.
ttfn,
Drakonis

	RE: Train keeps a rollin' OK, I promise to behave. In retrospect, it's rather embarrassing, and makes it hard to re-post. But it does give me an opportunity to re-think the mixes. Your blanket approval makes me proud to have slipped one by you without a nit - Awesome! Thanks, Eduard! . - Harold Check out my latest song called Kanun Oud Rock (LIOLI9)

Hey you
got me at the first chuff and whistle,as a confirmed steam loco fan this is a winner for me. Your steam locos are a bit different to ours but a loco is a loco and then there is a magnifique rock track added on as well.Bliss.
Steam,rock,strats....and oh look here's a beer.Cheers, Jarvo

p.s. good artwork as well.

RE: Hey Chris!

So good to 'ave someone appreciate the train bits so much. Actually, I think that most if not all of D. Bailey's train tracks (no pun) are from the UK, but I didn't jot down the locations or engine numbers for the ones I used here when I fetched them from his web page (above)...

Anyhow, glad you liked the tune, and thanks for the comment!

Harold
I hadst heard this yet! tis is great - I like it... got that bluesy rockgrind thing going with the strat and the undergird of guitar and train sound mix.... however ya say that... Keep postin' and how the train became part of the percussion,,, which could be why there are so many train songs in the world. I need to download this for my morning commute as I often take the train.
