Cannonball Blues

Oh listen to the train coming down the line

Trying to make up all of her lost time

From Buffalo to Washington

You can wash my jumper starch my overalls

Catch the train they call the Cannonball

From Buffalo to Washington

Yonder comes the train coming down the track

Carry me away but it aint gonna carry me back

My honey babe my blue eyed babe

My baby's left me she even took my shoes

Enough to give a man these doggone worried blues

She's gone she's solid gone

I'm going up north I'm going up north this fall

If luck don't change I wont be back at all

My honey babe I'm leaving you
