This is my version of Erin Ivey’s song called Amelia (Amelia Earhart). If you do not know who Erin Ivey is, she is a folk/pop singer from Austin,Tx. She is also the Reid’s Cleaners Girl in the commercial.
I was a nappy headed slave girl
Who had hope all over
In every lil’ part of my being
‘Til I got older
And I ran away to something there
That I didn’t know, but believed if I dare
All aboard the choo choo train
Chug along to the north to be free
Only leave behind you
The tracks and steam
I am your conductor this trip
Moses is what they call me
No need to punch a ticket this time
Because our final stop is free
I opened the window then
And gave the tickets to the wind
All aboard the choo choo train
Chug along to the north to be free
Only leave behind you
The tracks and steam
It was quite hard to get where I was going
I know, because I knew where I’ve been
For the rest of my life-I’ll fight
To never come this way again
