Betty Miranga - Train Whistle Blues

We welcome a new artist, Betty Miranga, a female vocalist that sings primarily country and blues, As of yet, we don't know much about her as the recording came to us sooner than any info about her from our associate that recommended her. We did get a photo of her that our resident graphic artist rendered to the cover used for the recording. After listening to her we thought she must be a younger singer, as she sings in such a pure and clean high register. Now she's not an old timer by a long time, but it's a cinch after seeing her she's been around a few years. We did find out she won a singing contest in her hometown area about 20 years ago, and has been singing ever since.  She usually plays gigs with other artists, and seldom plays in bars. Our associate says she emits sophistication, even as she sings about a train whistle reminding her of her lost love, in country style tradition. So we welcome her, and hope she does up some more material in her laid back country sophistication style. Her voice is unique!

We was happy, least for a while
Had lovin’ like I never had
One day he left me all alone
God lawd, I sure do feel bad

Ever time I hear that whistle
Number 45 crossing close
I think how he ain’t comin’ back
That man that I sure love the most

Johnny worked Number 45
The engine bound for the coal mine
Was fair of hair, handsome of face
He’s gone, all I do is pine

Ever time I hear that whistle
Number 45 crossing close
I think how he ain’t comin’ back
That man that I sure love the most

Friends say some rail men do that
Strike up a new love now and then
Get a wild hair and change their crew

Ever time I hear that whistle
Number 45 crossing close
I think how he ain’t comin’ back
That man that I sure love the most

Don’t know if I’ll again
Johnny spoilt me for other men
Got the grand feelin’ ever time
Make me shout and holler AMEN!

Ever time I hear that whistle
Number 45 crossing close
I think how he ain’t comin’ back
That man that I sure love the mos
