[Dixielandjazz] Whence "Hey Engineer"?

[Dick Baker]

At the Chattanooga festival this weekend, an old friend asked if I 
could help her find a song she remembered about a train going south 
and Georgia peaches, etc.  I quickly replied that that's an old Ernie 
Carson song called "Hey Engineer" and was sure that I had a recording 
of it by him that I could send her.

Well, when I got home, I found that my only recording of it is by the 
Tarnished Six of State College, PA.  I then headed for George Buck's 
Jazzology web site, knowing that George is the Prime Mover of Ernie 
Carson in jazz recording history.  I did find "Hey Engineer" there, 
but only once, on a Carson Castle Jazz Band recording called "At the 
Hooker's Ball."

Now I'm wondering:  Do the rest of you associate that song with 
Carson, or is my memory incorrect?
