Short story:
Roy Martin (aka Lewis McDaniels) And His Guitar records North Carolina Blues for Jewel Records in New York City, USA. The song is thought to have been inspired by The Midnight Special train operated by the Chicago and Alton Railroad between Chicago, Illinois, USA, and St. Louis, Missouri. In many ways, the song is similar to The Midnight Special made famous by Lead Belly some years later.
