Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for making us aware that on May 7, 1941, the Glenn Miller Orchestra recorded "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" for RCA.

"Chattanooga Choo-Choo" written by Harry Warren / Mack Gordon
Lyrics
Hi there Tex, what you say?
Step aside partner, it's my day
Bend an ear and listen to my version
Of a really solid Tennesse excursion
Pardon me, boy
Is that the Chattanooga Choo-Choo?
Yes, yes, track twenty-nine
Boy, you can gimme a shine
Can you afford to board the Chattanooga Choo-Choo?
I've got my fare
And just a trifle to spare
You leave the Pennsylvania Station 'bout a quarter to four
Read a magazine, and then you're in Baltimore
Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer
Than to have you ham and eggs in Carolina
When you hear the whistle blowing eight to the bar
Then you know that Tennessee is not very far
Shovel all the coal in, gotta keep it rollin'
Woo-woo, Chattanooga there you are
There's gonna be
A certain party at the station
Satin and lace (doo doo)
I used to call "Funny Face"
She's gonna cry
Until I tell her that I'll never roam
So Chattanooga Choo-Choo
Won't you choo-choo me home?
Chattanooga, Chattanooga
Get aboard
Chattanooga, Chattanooga
All aboard
Chattanooga, Chattanooga
Chattanooga Choo-Choo
Won't you choo-choo me home?
Chattanooga Choo-Choo
