Last Train to Clarksville

Well, I think we can legitimately digress here because although this version of the Hotbox is dedicated to music from Ireland, we weren't to know that one of the world's best jazz singers would pass away just as we were assembling this show: Cassandra Wilson.

[singing] Take the last train to Clarksville, and I'll meet you at the station.

You can be here by four thirty 'cause I made a reservation.

Don't be slow.

Oh, no, no, no. Oh, no, no, no.

And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.

Take the last train to Clarksville.

I'll be waiting at the station.
