Hey Oily Fool. Yeah I got left "somewhere". When they were handin' out brains I thought they said trains so I said," hey, give me a nice slow one" hahaha Thank you, I was goin' for that old dust-bowl sound and seein' as I'm just an old-fart in a dusty bowl it was easy. Take care man.

Well done, Prof! I agree with Unca John - sounds like you got let off at the station somewhere in 1933.

That's wonderful Prof. Always good to get a glimpse of what's going on in your laboratory.

Good lyrics prof, but I am lowering your grade to an A for the gentleman comment.   Good job man.  You should be happy with that effort and outcome.

Hey thanks John, Clockwork, thanks much. :-) This is my first time tryin' to sing and play at the same time so I hadda' keep the guitar re-e-eal simple and strangley enough, simple worked for this. hahaha Take care gentlemen. You too John. I'm kidding, I'm kidding John. Here's the lyrics. 

a streamlined beauty right out of a dream
a long n' lean well-oiled machine
long black silk runnin cros't her back
she turned heads when she come down the track
yeah she turned heads when she come down the track
come into my station all klickitty klack
I hopped aboard n' I never looked back
causin' a commotion with her locomotion
rollin' back and forth on them rails
she took me places I'd never been
then she turned around n' we did it again
... then we did it again
we traveled fast on that 'ol track
but we both knew that it would never last
yeah we both knew that it would never last
she was my pretty little hiawatha
she was a lover like no other
Hiawatha

A+.   Really nice video, song, playing and singing.   Sounds kind of dust bowl folk era to me. Old timey good.   Can you post the lyrics?
