Harmonica solo: C F G C C F G C C Goin down to F Florida and get some sand in my shoes, or maybe California and get some sand C G C in my shoes. Ride that orange blossom special and lose these New York blues. Another harmonica solo. They talk about ramblin, she's the fastest train on F C the line. They talk about travelin, she's the fastest train on the line. It's G C that orange blossom special rollin down that seaboard line. Another harmonica solo.
